Need Help

Alright so i put together my computer with 8800 gt graphics 2 gb ram intel motherboard 3.0ghz thermaltake 500 W psu

if need anything else let me know

alright so when i connected all wires and was set i plugged in monitor to the converter and connected it through graphics card. well the monitor didnt respond so i figured it must be a problem with ram because i checked graphics card already. The bios beep thats supposed to tell me if anythings wrong etc didnt make any noise i tried taking out 1 stick of ram different slots etc and nothing. i havent heard any bios beeps but all of the fans work and everything. i read somewhere on another forum that it could be a power supply problem.. could anyone confirm this or help me figure out the problem? any help would be greatly appreciated im a first time builder and only have a help of a few friends thanks

Be sure you have both a 24pin and 4pin power connection in place. And make sure your video card is powered as well.
