Need help with new build

That is my build everything is hooked up no problem but getting no video on the monitors everything sounds like it's booting up and running properly

First of all, silly as it sounds, check that your monitor is plugged into the card, not the board and with one connector only.

If that checks out, reset the memory. Make sure the PC is off and unplugged from the mains, remove each stick and re-seat them.

Also, that board may not recognize the CPU if it's BIOS isn't up to date. Unfortunately, you'd need a different CPU (SKylake, or 6xxx as opposed to 7xxx Kaby lake) to check that

I just noticed when it boots up where it says eZ debug light the dram light shows up in tried swapping it out with other ram but no luck

I checked the RAM against the MSI compatibility list and it is listed as supported. Let's try to take out the GPU and see if you get something on the internal display. Also reset the BIOS (unplug, pop off little round button battery for a minute or two before you plug it back in and restart)

If no troubleshooting steps help in the end, there's still the possibility the BIOS just doesn't recognize the newer generation chip before we declare the board is bad. To get around that, you could see if a shop has one on hand to test with and if possible use to upgrade the BIOS, see if a buddy has one he's willing to let you test with or find another way to temporarily get access to a 6th gen chip. If that's not possible, look for a newer (200 series chipset like Z270) board.
