Does you system boot or post with the drive activity run lights? Also, your card has a DVI and a VGA connection. Which one are you using? Try to use the DVI port with the supplied adaptor to VGA (that is if you monitor is using a VGA connection). Be sure the connection of the Graphics card is properly seated. You need to first establish if you have the Basics like POST (power on system test). Then you can troubleshoot from there.

Have you plugged in the 4-pin power connector for your processor?

I think that I may have put one stand-off to many and it shorted the Mobo, im not sure but im gonna test it out to see if the motherboard is the problem.

That's what the standoffs are for, to prevent shorting out the mobo...

true but if i put a stand off in the wrong place and it touches an unsecure part of the mobo it could do the opposite. :(

With the ATX standard, it's pretty hard to do that in my experience.
