Partslist:

PNY Nvidia GeForce 660
Seagate 1TB
Standard DVD drive
Corsair Builder Edition 600V
AMD FX-6300

So, after building it (my first build), I plugged it in to my monitor through the Graphics Card with A DVI cord, and turned it on. The system turned on, all 3 fans running (case fan, CPU fan, Graphics card fan), yet the monitor just went into power save mode. The monitor is set to the correct input, yet it shows nothing. I've tried everything I could think of, so I come running to you.

Thanks in advance I guess.
