Ok ive got all the parts I need minus my vid card its still on its way from newegg. Questions I have is plugging things into the motherboard. I have the ata ribbon plugged into its slot going to cd/harddrive so thats dealt with I have the psu plugged in the 24 pin connected also the little 4 pin one. My problem comes in with the power leds and such for some reason I get confused I dunno what it is maybe im just stupid but its driving me crazy I cant seem to find where they go. Im putting together a Q-Pack with a Foxxcon NF4K8MC Mobo with a AMD 64 4000+ and and 7800GTX(on its way). I have everything expect the vid card. Also will a computer boot without a vid card cause im getting no power I just need help so any would be great thanks sorry for it being so long.
 
Read your Mobo manual closely. They usually include instructions on which pins do what. From there - read your case instructions (if it came with some, if not hopefully your wires are labeled). Match the case wires to the pins illustrated in your mobo manual.

Easy. Good luck!
 
the mobo manual will say where to put them and sometimes the mobo itself has it written next to the actual pins
 
ok pretty sure pins are in right spot now but im not getting power? Maybe cause I dont have vid card yet or does that matter?
 
you should be able to turn it on,

double check that the switch on the power supply is on
 
The video card alone shouldn't cause a no-power situation. First check the jumpers on your board (esp. cmos jumper), then double check your front panel connections on the mobo.
