Try removing all peripherals except power lead and monitor and see if that makes a difference. USB and PS/2 devices have been known to cause hang on POST.

Try disconnecting the HDD and seeing if you get a display. Sure it'll say it cannot find a boot device, but if you get a visual then you'll know which component is the culprit.

Did you make sure the four pin connector is plugged into your mobo from your PSU? First time I built a PC I wasn't aware of it since the first PC I butchered didn't require it

I might be wrong but you've not mentioned that you've tried the above yet. Please do, it'll narrow a lot of things down.

The PC's I fix all hang on the manufacturers logo (If they hang at all that is) which appears BEFORE it POSTs. Your screen is blank, and since you built the PC yourself it's unlikely to have a manufacturers logo, it's logical to assume if this is not a GPU problem, then your mobo is hanging before it POSTs.

Therefore I reccommend you try my ideas above, two of which may reveal your problem.
