I'm having this issue with a new build I'm trying to get put together.

Motherboard : MSI 970 Gaming motherboard

CPU: AMD FX-6300 Vishera 6-Core 3.5 GHz Socket AM3+

Graphics Card: GIGABYTE Radeon RX 460 WINDFORCE OC 2GB

RAM: G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3

essentially what happens is when the computer turns on there is no video feed at all.
The fans on the video card do not even spin or begin to spin (I tried using a different video card and the fans spin with this other card but there is still no feed at all)
I feel that I've tried everything to get a video feed, but still nothing. I've moved the RAM to the other slots and only used 1. I removed the RAM and tried to boot it like that and there were no beeps indicating lack of RAM(Stock speaker that cam with the MoBo is plugged in)
I've re-seated the CPU and the video card, I've made sure that there was no metal touching the board, checked all the power connections even the 8 pin CPU connection. I'm sure there are other things I've tried but can't seem to think of. If anyone has some suggestions as to what my next step should be I would be glad to hear it. My next move is to take the rig back to Frys electronics and see if there is anything they can do. All parts are less than a week old. I bought them all the same day at frys. the HDD im using is a 1TB disk I've been using, but i don't see how the HDD could stop it from POST because I can't even get into the BIOS.
Thanks all your help
 


Disregard this Normie as post i'm just a scrub apparently. Tested the GPU on a different system and it worked fine no problem. So i started scratching my head even harder. the slot on the MoBo is PCI-E 2.0 X16 and the interface on the GPU is a PCI-E 3.0 X8. Ive looked into compatibility issues and have found that it should be working but for some reason there is no video, the GPU fans don't even turn on. Do you know if there is anything specific i am missing?
the PSU im not too sure on the model since I am not at home right now but I can tell you it's a 500w.
