Problems with first PC Build, no LCD input, can see anything when turned on.

I built my first PC today and encountered an issue with my Display. When booting up my rig, my monitor wont display a signal to enter the BIOS so that I can configure it and then install Vista 64 bit. Does anyone have a suggestion or know what I did wrong? I use a GTX 260 with EVGA x58 mobo and i7 chip. Corsair 750w psu

Have a read of this thread and consider an 'out of case' build:

Is the DVI cable connected?
Is the monitor plugged in?

Is the 24 pin main power connector connected to the motherboard, and is the 8 pin behind the CPU also connected? Do you have the two 6 pin PCI-E power cables plugged into the video card?
