What bios revision firstly, and then personally i'd try to remove one of the video cards, and start off with just one.
Off the top of my head seems like maybe the the bios you have isnt the one that supports the new FX cpu, but you'd think you'd get a cpu led if that were the case. or the Power Supply isnt enough to push 2 gtx 580's. try one card, in the top red slot.

If you look on your motherboard you will see a series of numbers and the last four numbers are the shipped bios version. The FX8150 CPU requires a updated BIOS to work on the motherboard.

And btw, you don't have a total of 4GB graphic card memory with your 580's.
In SLI, apps & games share the memory, so with your 580's, it's a total of 2GB shared memory.

Cheers mate - your board has a FX bios.
Right please do the following.
Visually inspect the board and ensure that each of the power connectors is correctly seated in the correct socket. The user manual is your friend and refer to it just to make 100% sure that things are in the right place.
Check that your keyboard and mouse are connected. Remove any other devices from the in/out panel please.
CPU fan header is populated.
One stick of ram
One graphic card
HDD is optional.
The cable to the monitor is connected and that the monitor is powered on and the correct input selected.
We are no ready to power up.
If you have done all the above your system should boot to BIOS no problem.

I see that you have low voltage Crucial memory, would not be among my choices.
Try booting with one stick of Corsair memory from your previuos build.
Secondly, there is no way that you are going to adequately power two 580's with a CM 850W PSU.
Yes, it's 80+ Bronze certified, but keep in mind that just one 580 requires min. 42 amps on the +12v rail.
You have to consider the PSU output under continuous load, not just it's rated output.
And now you're throwing a 125W CPU into the mix with your PSU, ever think about that?
