System not booting after upgrade

I recently installed a Corsair h80i v2 into my pc (AMD FX-6300, EVGA GTX 760, Gigabyte GA-970a-DS3P mobo) and ever since I installed it my system will not send a video out to my monitor. I've tested it with 2 different outputs on 2 different monitors, tried unplugging the cooler, and checked power on everything. I cannot figure out why my pc all of a sudden stopped working. Any help on this issue would be appreciated.

You put the H80 on the CPU right? Did you accidentally know power out to the GTX 760?

 

Yours faithfully

Yup, I've checked power and it is on the CPU. Everything seems to be powered properly, just not getting an output from the gpu

any post codes? Did you remember to connect the pump to the CPU fan header?

Yours faithfully

My mobo doesn't have a speaker installed (not sure why I never put one in...) and it doesn't have a little display like some mobos do. it is connected to the right fan header, and powers on correctly

did the CPU come unseated when you removed the other cooler? AMD CPUs are a pain because they so easily come out when you remove the CPU cooler, also try removing the graphic card and install it again, it might have gotten knocked, the one other thing I can think of is if the PSU isn't strong enough to drive it all (I REALLY doubt that but I'm clutching at straws here) other than that all I can think of is something must have gotten damaged, look for any snagged or shorting cables, maybe something got caught in the case and is shorting.  

Yours faithfully

I'll check cables and check the gpu, and I had taken the cpu out of the socket to clean the old thermal paste off of it, so I manually put it back in. I have a 750 watt PSU which I'm almost certain is enough for my system. Thanks for the suggestions!
