Did you use motherboard standoffs or perhaps the case comes with built-in standoffs? Graphics card firmly seated in the slot? All power connectors tight? Did you plug in the 2x2 12V power connector on the motherboard? BTW, do you mean Rosewill power supply, not Roswell (as in area 51)?

You may want to try to boot the computer with the motherboard out of the case. I have also found that if the reset switch on the case is stuck or shorted out this will cause the motherboard not to boot, try disconnecting the reset switch from the motherboard. It seems there are more and more cases of motherboard not booting after the initial build, some require the bios to be reset and I have seen a few that require the battery to be removed and left out for hours before they will boot. I have built a couple machines lately that I had to remove all the cards, cpu and ram from the motherboard then do a bios reset then re-install everything to get them to work. Hope one of the above help.
