Hello

I just finished assembling my first build. First time I turn it on I get nothing. Not even the turn of a fan on the case or the PSU. Can anybody help me out here please

Go through the checklist rgd1101 linked. Make sure your motherboard is mounted on standoffs, and there is a standoff only where there is a mounting hole. Make sure your CPU is on your motherboard's supported CPU list.
Make sure no additional metal bits like screws or wire-ties fell onto your motherboard or got trapped under it, shorting something.
And, this may seem silly, but if you're not even getting a fan twitch, make sure the outlet you are using is live, and that the power cord is fully seated in the PSU's socket.

Update: I have taken everything out and laid it on a non-static box.

I have plugged in the PSU CPU GPU RAM and cpu cooler, when I turn it on I get a green light off of the GPU but nothing else
