What is the rest of your system specs mate then we can see any other possible problems. I would try with bare minimum and the new ram firthest slot from CPU just one stick. So thats board, CPU, RAM, VGA only plugged in (To PCI EX1). All power connections made!!! I would also try switching to the second bios and trying to post with that.
I would remove the CPU first and check the socket for any bent pins. Remount your cooler being careful not to over tighten. Update Bios using USB stick flashback. Clear CMOS and then try again with one stick using the socket furthest from the CPU. Use only a video card in PCI EX 1 and power to all connections on the board. Try booting the board.
Are those Gskill series of RAM tuned for X79 I thought Gskills quad channel range was RipjawZ??? This may be where the problem lies.
Make sure also when you put the RAM in the slots you here two distinct clicks.

I am not in the states mate so I cant really recommend a link as I dont know what the e-tailers are like in the states. I use GSkill RipjawZ kits in my boards and they all work at the stock speeds with excellent stability. I believe all the RipjawZ series are tuned for quad channel use. So I personally would recommend them. They overclock really well too in my experience.
