Computer won't post

[Keeshanic]

I just got all of my new Pc parts in the mail today, a i7 8700k, gigabyte Ga-x150-plus ws, 2x8(16gb) Corsair lpx ddr4 2133mhz and aio liquid cooler. I've put together a few PC's in my time, however this hasn't happened to me before. I installed everything correctly, followed instructions, but I can't seem to get the bios page to pop up on my monitor to then select my boot drive. Brand new, out of the box. Any tips or help? All fans spin up, GPU is a GTX 970, the fans spin up on that.

Does anything show up on your monitor?

Does removing your GPU improve anything?

What power supply do you have and is it definitely in working order?

Is your boot drive connected to SATA_0 on the motherboard?

Nothing shows up on the monitor at all. 

I can't remove my gpu, the motherboard does not have a video display output. 

The power supply was sitting for a few days while I waiting for the PC parts, I have a spare I can try. Yes, the drive I want booting from is in SATA 0, I can disconnect all others.

That board is made for Kaby Lake and Skylake, but the CPU is Coffee Lake. You need a Z370 board.

When I PC partpicker'd all of it it said it was compatible..  

So, I have to send this one back and get another one? Can you suggest a decent board for me? Dual gpu, atx factor, with spdif sound.

@TheSLSAMG did spot something I didn't, your motherboard is incompatible with your CPU.

 

Although I am interested in knowing what is stopping you from removing your GPU.

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/HpD48Y - It says incompatible.

 

I'm looking for a board with SPDIF now.

 

EDIT: The ASUS TUF Z370 Pro has SPDIF, as does the MSI Z370 Tomahawk. I'm personally partial to ASUS, but the MSI board should work fine as well. You could also go lower end to the MSI Z370 SLI Plus.

The board has no video out because it's a low end workstation board made for Xeons. It doesn't technically stop him from removing the GPU, but it can't do much without one.

The motherboard does not have any display output, which got me stumped at first..

Thanks for your help, The SLSamg
