"i turned it on and i get no results i even tryed using another monitor just to double check if it was the monitor."

 

Did your PC show any signs of life, such as LED's turning on, or fans powering up? If not, check your PSU switch. I was worried for about 5 minutes on my first build when it wouldnt power on, but it only turned out to be the PSU power switch. 

 

Let me know :)

Ok so try to take out one of the ram sticks and see if it boots if not try it with the one you took out and see if it boots if not then you might have faulty ram.

Looks like your 4pin connector is not plugged in, look at the top left corner of your motherboard.

........ I may be picking at your build but...... why is the cooler upside down. It bothers me  <_<

You need better cable management and make sure to plug your gpu into your psu using a PCI-e cable.

Also I recommend putting you ram in the same color slots so it can run in dual channel ,so like the 1st and 3rd slot or 2nd and 4th. I could not tell you the tech facts of dual channel but I know it's better.
