I would 1st try disconnecting all the drive's from the board and see if it display's a image or not on the screen when the graphic's card is connected, then if it does connect each drive and try again 1 at a time and see what happen's, if you still get no signal then I am certain it will be a faulty board and or graphic's card but more than likely the board alone.
Have you used the correct lead to the graphic's card, not trying to say your stupid but if it requires a 8 pin power connector just make sure you have used a pci-e not a 8 pin cpu power lead.
If all lead's are correctly installed and drive's etc and you still get no display on the monitor, try another graphic's card if you can and try the new graphic's card in another pc to rule that out.
Or your other option is to send the everything back and get them to test everything and replace anything that might be faulty.

Thanks for the reply Damien ,the cpu power lead is only a 4pin ,the psu lead does have the option of another connection 8pin but it is not needed .The mobo supply is 24 pin and all connected ,the gfx card has it's own supply using a pcie connection to the card (4 pin).I have come to the conclusion that it is a faulty board mainly because of the issue with the dvd drive cutting out as soon as the IDE is connected so i have ordered a new one from novatech a different board as the service from ASUS is diabolical ,so i ordered one of these this afternoon to arrive tomorrow

you are correct they are not the same shape plus each connecting block on the psu is labelled as to what it is for
