Are you sure you turned on the PSU?

You need to update the BIOS to F6 version ( or F5 is OK too) to use the i7 4790K, here is the support list: http://www.gigabyte.com/support-downloads/cpu-support-popup.aspx?pid=4949

1) You can talk to the seller ( if it is the local shop ) to see they can update the BIOS for you or not.
2) Buy other lower price cpu to update the BIOS, or borrow one from friend.
3) Return the MB, get the asus brand, because asus MB can update the BIOS using USB flashback.
