Couple of weeks ago I ordered a new cheap PC to replace my old sh*t PC. Well, it's arrived and my screen won't turn on... The computer turns on(blue lights, fan spinning, components running) but nothing appears on screen. It goes no signal red green etc, on the old PC this would happen but then it would go along with startup procedure. This one just stays black and monitor lights go red.
I've opened up the PC but not sure what is supposed to be connected internally or not. Bunch of ends hanging from small yellow, red and black wires coming from the graphics card and upper section. Anyone know what to do?

You've bought a pre-built PC and still managed to f**k something up? Impressive.
But seriously, though, possibly check that all the wires are connected properly, and are not broken. Inside the case, that is.

This is a PC with a detached monitor correct? Not a laptop?

Yes, already had the monitor. This is a desktop PC.

Well it is used from eBay so.... Still, I always seem to have bad luck when it comes to most things, no matter how unlikely.

Do you have another monitor you can plug into the PC to see if it's your monitor that's broken?

Just plugged in my old computer and it is displaying on the monitor, fully functional. Has to be something with the new computer... Going to fiddle with it a bit more.

Update-
Well I've done a lot of research and experimentation...
I've cleared BIOS and CMOS
Messed around with RAM
Have tested whether the motherboard is dead or any other pieces are faulty
Some more controlled experiments both on different computer and monitor
Conclusion-
Monitor is not an issue, could be the power supply, cpu, or the ports on the motherboard(for visuals). Going to test if it's the cpu tomorrow morning, but can't test the power supply. If the cpu isn't the issue... I'll have to find the proper cables to connect the monitor to the graphics card(if this solves it, I'm gonna rethink my life). Cheers!

Just a stupid question, did you plug the monitor on the GPU ports?

When I got my brand new, already built PC, I tried connecting it to an actual PC monitor through the VGA cable, but then when I opened it after not having signal on the monitor, I found out that the VGA output is there but not connected to ANYTHING...
So, I saw an HDMI port on the GPU, and thought "That's right, I have an HDTV and the HMDI cable from my PS3!" So I connected it with the HDMI cable and it worked.
HDMI even looks better than VGA... lol

If your PC was transported - open it and just gently check every card if its not tilted, RAM and power conector to mainboard.
1. Check empty PCI/PCI-E slots - sometimes there can be tiny dust or small object and it mess with power on motherborad.
Now power on.
2. If PC just start humming (fans start/light ons/HDD start) but not beeps -> try check CPU -> power for it (4 pin square cable near CPU) and if CPU is corectly instaled in socket.
This is delicate work - try some YT films to don't mess with pins;)
3. If you hear single beep that means motherboard is ok and CPU too. Try to connect to different video output.
- You can have muliply video output at GPU card and motherboard. BIOS don't know what port is used and your monitor going to sleep.
Best solution plug every video connection and watch what monitor is about to start working ;)
And good luck ;)
Post some pictures.
Not much time left...

Try taking it apart, then putting it back together. That's what I had to do with my fans to get them working after booting up for the first time for some reason. At least, I think it was the fans?
Anywho, yeah. Maybe the cables shifted around and got a bit lose when shipped, or for some reason gave to be detached and attached again like with my case. Worth a shot, I suppose.
