My monitor and peripherals won't recognise my PC

My PC turns on fine, the fans all turn (even on the GPU), the geb. Lights on my RAM all turn on, my liquid cooler turns on, but the monitor just reads no signal. My mouse and keyboard also don't light up, but they do when you plug them into a switched on keyboard. My monitor and HDMI cable work fine, and I'm pretty sure I've put everything together correctly. Ther are LEDs on my motherboard corresponding to each component, and if there is an issue with a certain component, then the LED will stay lit up until it's fixed, and none of these LEDs are on indicating that everything is installed correctly and working fine. There are also 3 more LEDs that light up when the 'system is powered and operating' as the manual puts it. So I'm a bit stuck. What should I try?

Motherboard: ASUS Z 170a
GPU: Zotac GTX 1060 6GB amp Edition
CPU: I5 7600k
RAM: G SKILL RBG 2 x 8GB
NZXT Kraken liquid cooled + multiple fans
PSU: Corsair 650W
 
Solution
The board needs a BIOS update for supporting that CPU. You'd need a supported CPU, or you can try replacing the BIOS chip with one from ebay. Or replacing the board with a Z270 one.
