Okay, so I bought myself a VTX3D R9N 280x but it wouldn't fit in my case.
Therefore I bought the Zalman Z9 Plus and today transferred my build into it.
I have checked all the cables and they are in perfectly, I have connected the power and reset button at the front of the case. My PSU was working 2 days ago before I switched cases so that cannot be the problem.
When I turn on the power supply and plug it in; all i get is a green light - no fans, no noise, no spinning, no nothing.
I have tried replugging in RAM, I have all the motherboard standoffs in and all 6 screws plugged in!

My mum just found out and when completely apeshit because this was a xmas present last year.

Specs;
AMD FX 4100 (with Stock Cooler)
Asus M5A78/L LX V2
8GB Kingston 1333mhz RAM
VTX3D R9 280x
Western Digital Blue 1TB
Liteon DVD/CD Writer
CoolerMaster GX 550w PSU
Zalman Z9 Case

ANY HELP AT ALL IS MUCH APPRECIATED!
I REALLLLLLY need to fix this asap!

Thanks in advance,
Jake!

also, try small steps, try to run it with the old graphics card. to make sure it's not something related to the new gpu.

Yes, I did state that all cables are connected properly.
Thanks for the answer though!
Any other suggestions?
I'm really scared :(
