Unhappy I need help with my new comp...

OK... So I am going to start off by saying that I was building my own desktop and I have ran into so many dead ends that its not even funny.

First when I put my new desktop all together it ran fine for the exception that my graphics card was not letting me install the driver. So I take it back to the store and get a new one. I had noticed that my PCI slots were not powering up my firewire card so I thought the motherboard(mobo) was also bad. I take it back to the store I purchased it and got an exchange for it. I get back home connect everything back together. Now I don't know how severe this would mess up anything on the desktop but I wasn't paying attention and I connected the pins from the case to the mobo wrong and I tried to start it. Of course since the pins weren't connected right it wouldn't boot. I noticed this fixed the problem and tried again this time to my surprise all the fans spun but no image on the screen and my RAM didn't light up like it was suppose to. Since I had Corsair RAM the one with the light indicator I thought crap I just fried my RAM. So I send it back and I get 2 Corsair 800MHz Dominator Series RAM instead. And it still does the same thing. Now I figure it must be my processor that must be messed up I uninstal it and I see its a different color in a certain area. I call up Intel and they set me up with an exchange. I get the new processor tested by them so I know it works. Install it, still the same thing. So I go and buy a new mobo and install it. To my surprise it boots for a second freezes on the computer stats page. So I turn it off manually since it froze turned it back on and I am in the same place all over again. Can anybody help me. The only things I have left to change are the case and power supply. Does anybody know which one it could be? Thnx.
