Hi

you dropped a boo boo somewhere when building it, go back to the start, read the motherboard manual and make sure any board jumpers are where they should be, sometimes they arrive with the CMOS clear jumper set to on, this will stop a PC booting, after that its back to checking the various components havent been damaged and have been fitted correctly, sometimes a spare rig is a good thing to have just to check the various parts on.
regards
 
Here's a place to start, does the motherboard even have a speaker on it? Gigabyte seem to have been leaving them off of the Intel ones.

If it doesn't have a speaker, go get one, plug it in and see if it beeps then. Make sure you have the 4 pin processor connector plugged in. If it has onboard graphics, take the ATI card out and try the onboard graphics instead.
 
Well i took it out of the box and built it on cardboard and it worked so I'm putting it back in the case now I realized part of it must of betting hitting the case.... I have another question though just really fast I undid my CPU fan really quick then put it back on should I put more thermal paste on it even though I took it off for only a second??? Thanks for the help!
