As it's your first build, did you remember to connect the P4 4-pin power connection from the PSU in the upper left hand side?

If you can't get it to power up at all you should start by checking to make sure all the necessary power connections are properly connected and that the switch on the back of the power supply is on. You can also check to make sure you have connected the power switch to the correct pins on the motherboard, this is one of the more common issues with new builds not powering up. 

Take a good thorough look through your manual and re-follow all the steps and make sure you have not missed anything and that you have connected all the correct cables to their corresponding headers on the motherboard.

I've confirmed the psu and the fan are both plugged in correctly.
there is no beep.
 
except for the data connections, the only things I have left unplugged are the two TDV WTD plugs, which don't appear to have a place to plug into.

So when you press the power button nothing at all happens? Are the LED lights on the LAN port lit? If they are not then there is no power getting to the board. Be sure to check if the clear CMOS jumper is set to "1 and 2" not "2 and 3" if the jumper is set in the "clear" (2 and 3) position the board will not power on. Also make sure that the 24pin power connector is firmly seated and its clip is in place, I have often seen these connections be very tight to the point where it looks like they are in but in fact are not making contact.

There is no power button that i can see. and i know nothing about jumpers. i flip the switch on the power supply and nothing moves, none of the fans or anything. i suspect these "jumpers" might be the cause of the problem. what are they and how do i make them work?

The switch on the power supply does not power up the system, you need to have the case power switch connected to the motherboard, instructions as to how to do this should be in your user manual that came with the motherboard.

what hes saying is,,wrong switch,,,power supplies have their own switch,that does not power up computer,more like a emergency kill switch......to power computer the power switch/button is on the case/tower,most likely the front of case.
