Has the display worked before this new pc was built? As in has you tried it with a different pc? Also, have you tried a different HDMI cable, sometimes cables can be defective, and sometimes it could be your GPU.

yeah the monitor works fine as in it turns on and searches for an hdmi to connect to however even though the cable is connected it says no signal detected. also the cable is fine as i used it for my ps3 before and my gpu works( the light switches on when plugged in and the fans work on it)

I think it is your GPU then if your monitor works and your cable works. Lights and fans won't tell you if it is working properly, you can have the whole GPU powered up and everything, if the display ports on it are defective or something, you won't get signal, I had the same problem with my GPUs.

i thought it was that also but then i plugged it into the motherboard to see if it would work but it didnt.

The motherboard? I've never connected anything video wise to the motherboard before for video, so I'm not sure if it could be the motherboard.
