I was up all night competing online, I went to sleep, woke up, when I went to turn it on, nothing happened. I've unplugged it, tried different outlets, removed all the components. At one point it actually came on and I turned it off. I went to move it back and plug everything in and it wouldnt work. I un plugged everything then tried again, and nothing happened. It just stayed off. What should I do? What does this sound like?

bummer!
First thing I would try is resetting BIOS/UEFI. The chance that this is the problem is admittedly slim, but it is pretty easy to do, and just as easy to reset all of your system settings where the need to be if this is not the issue.

Second, go grab a spare PSU, or test your PSU to ensure that it is working properly. More likely than not this will be your problem if the system is not even attempting to boot.

Third, breadboard the system. plug in only the cpu, cpu cooler, ram, and motherboard and see if it will attempt to power on. If it does then add your GPU and try again. Then add your other components and accessories one at a time until something prevents it from turning on. This is an annoying process, but it does a very good job at weeding out problem parts.
