My friend recently bought a bunch of pc parts and we put his computer together. Everything turned on but for some odd reason the USB ports did not respond and when we hooked the GPU to a monitor with and HDMI cable it didn't respond either l. Where did we go wrong ?

Could be anything but i would double check your installations.
Change the power cord for the video card
make sure power source is working
see if motherboard is receiving power
sounds like a video card problem(possibly DOA) but honestly unless looking at it it could be a gorillion things.
>the USB ports did not respond
Sometimes these doesn't work unless you installed all the necessary drivers that came with the mobo installer disc.
>when we hooked the GPU to a monitor with and HDMI cable it didn't respond either
Is it an onboard GPU? If not turn off the onboard in the Boot menu.

We plugged in the gtx 970 and it turned on but the hdmi didn't pick it up.
Do any of you guys know we're I can find a Crosair 650 watt Manuel I think we may messed the order or placement of the wires that connect to the power supply it's self.

Since the power supply is from his brothers old rig.

The mobo usually force the onboard GPU as the primary display device. Since you haven't even got to the part to set dual monitor, you should turn off the onboard so that the OS could identify your GTX as the primary display.
Alternatively you could plug the hdmi(or vga) to the onboard and see if the monitor works.
