I just put together a new computer. I have everything plugged in correctly and everything is connected correctly. Everytime i turn it on, all fans turn, cpu fan turns on, both video cards start up, i can turn the led lights on, but the drives will not open up and the nothing displays on my monitor. It restarts over and over again every 10-15 seconds. Not sure what could be cause this issue.

First thing... did you install the CPU properly, using thermal compound between the CPU and it's heatsink? Did you connect the heatsink fan to the proper CPU fan header on the motherboard?
