magikmark8 - you said that you got this as a Mobo & CPU COMBO from EBAY.... When you recieved it, was the CPU already in the socket with the heatsink on it?? If it was, did you take it off, clean it and apply new thermal paste/pad/grease on it?
How many of the components have you tested and know are in WORKING order (meaning you saw it work with your own eyes, not "the seller said it worked"...). You said you tested the monitor on another PC, so that works. Do you have another rig that you can use to test the video card, RAM, CPU, and PSU, and another CPU to test in the motherboard??
Also, is your video card AGP or PCI? (lol, you didn't CUT the card to fit into a slot.... did you?)
Lastly, when turn the computer on, do the fans span, and optical drives and HDD's turn on?
