Do you have another monitor to test it with? Some TVs won't display any thing if the PC is using a resolution the TV does not support (not even a out of range error, the resolutions these TVs don't support usually includes 640x480).
Does the system actually power on? This could be a simple case of somthing not plugged in on the motherboard or not seated correctly. Check 24pin ATX, 4/8 pin ATX (5v), SATA power connectors. You GPU doesn't need external power but double check it is firmly in the PCI-e slot.
