I am not sure what the models of the components are but i can list some of them, memory is Vmax 4 gb
hdd is a seagate 250 gb motherboard is a gigabyte 880gma-ud2h.

On the very first time when i boted it up, the psu ticked when i hold the power button after that i tried to wire all together again but then nothing worked even the psu didnt tick.

I think it can be the psu cuz 400 W is weak i think :)

I read in the motherboard manuals and there it says u will need mor than 500w if not your pc will be unstable or it wont boot up. I think first i should try with a 4 pin to 8 pin converter :)

i think this one will be a good one, i hope that :)

Do not buy this PSU. There are no reviews and the few user comments are that it is junk that does not deliver as specified. You need to talk to your dad and try to explain what you need. I would point out to him that it is wasteful to buy bad products locally that will not help you or solve the issue. Be calm and reasonable with him and ask him to make the purchase for you. Look at this page (http://www.anandtech.com/show/6013/350450w-roundup-11-cheap-psus/23). See if you can find any of the Editors choice available to you. They all are in your price range (about $50 US). The PSU is a main and vital element in the system. Size is not the issue. There are several more important attributes of the PSU that determine system quality. Do not be fooled by bigger numbers are better. Many units do not meet their stated specs. Any of the 4 recommended models will be very good for you at this price. Once again do not buy that piece of junk!

I agree with you, that the lc-power is a junk because i also wanted to check some reviews of it but there are no of them. But i want to be sure. Is my motherboard faulty or the psu cuz on the motherboard even the led wont turn on nothing and i tried with another psu it was the point of view 350w, but still nothing, no led, no post and no fan spin. So i just want to be sure if the mobo is a junk or the psu before i pay next 50 euros.:??:

and thx for all the people who are helping me with my problem, thx alot

I checked the plug and i also tried to do that with a screw driver but it didnt work.
What psu do you think would be better: Lc-Power LC5550 550w or the cooler master b500 500w.

But in my motherboard manuals it says, u will need 500w or more than 500w.
