No display

[Acepiece]

Hello,
I decided to reach out to the tech community about a little problem I have encountered building a gaming PC.
I have all the components plugged in properly PSU,CPU,Fans,power sw,reset, etc. 
But what I happens when I boot up the computer, is that it doesn't display anything on my monitor, this is my FIRST time building a gaming PC, and I need help resolving this problem.

I have a graphics card too, and that too doesn't work on the monitor, it just doesn't detect it. And my Hmdi cord does work because it works for my laptop. 
Could it be my cmos battery on the motherboard? or is it something else, 
I can take pictures if you need. 
Please help!

Also, my GPU fan doesn't spin, when I turn on my computer from a shut down, it spins for like 2 seconds then stops.

1. Use the onboard video on the mobo to boot into windows.

2. Go to your gpu manufacturers website to install the drivers.

3. Shut down your pc.

4. Re-insert your GPU into your system.

You should see video on your monitor

That is, if your problem is what I think it is

Thank you guys for your efforts, I have finally fixed it! Euriikaaa! it turned out that the red switch on the PSU was switched to a different side.

Thanks again
