UPDATE 2 (4:45pm CET):

So now other issues arise.

1. I am having issues getting a signal from the computer (Integrated or GPU) to the monitor. I have to restart a few times for the signal to work. Tried HDMI and DVI cables, same issue.

2. Then once on the BIOS if I stay there for a while it tends to just freeze prompting me to have to restart and deal with the signal issues. PICTURE

Then after a few times of restarting to get signal this happens. PICTURE

I get a few pixels on the screen and nothing else.

Here is a picture of the Board Explorer from the BIOS so you can see that the motherboard/BIOS detects the components. PICTURE

UPDATE 1:
So today I removed the GPU and tried using the integrated graphics on the motherboard and after fighting with the vga to motherboard connection I managed to get into the BIOS.

From this PICTURE you can see that it detects the CPU, RAM, etc. It also recognizes the SSD and HDD.

I don't know if the GPU is defective or not because the fans start on power on but stop right away. Maybe it is just my vga cable so I will try an hdmi to vga cable from the GPU to my current monitor and see what happens.

First of all, thanks in advance for the help.

So I bought all the components for a brand new PC using different sources like PCPartPicker (which said these all where compatible with each other) and Youtube build videos.

Here are the components that I bought and put together today:


  • Intel i5-6500
    MSI Computer ATX DDR4 Motherboard Z170A PC MATE
    Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 DRAM 3000MHz (PC4-24000) C15 Memory Kit - Black (CMK16GX4M2B3000C15)
    ASUS STRIX GeForce GTX 970 Overclocked 4 GB DDR5 256-bit DisplayPort HDMI 2.0 DVI-I Graphics Card
    Corsair CX600 CP-9020048-US 600W Power Supply
    Kingston Digital 120GB SSDNow V300 SATA 3 2.5 (7mm height) Solid State Drive (SV300S37A/120G)
    WD Blue 1TB Desktop Hard Disk Drive - 7200 RPM SATA 6 Gb/s 64MB Cache 3.5 Inch - WD10EZEX
    NZXT S340 Mid Tower Case CA-S340MB-GR Matte Black/Red

I thought I was well versed on this but apparently not, so any help is appreciated.
 


Thanks for the quick reply.

I will follow your advice and recheck all the wiring to make sure I got everything connected correctly. As well as the RAM and GPU advice.
 
first of all did u ask bout the parts from here cuz no one would suggest that cx psu since its a low quality one.....
The first thing u can do is take all the parts out and plug in da main stuff..
Remove ur gpu see whether it works...
