I hope your substandard psu didn't fry the rest of your system.

I don't know Ill guess we will have to find out by pressing the power button and then if that fails the PAPERCLIP Test

Buy a new power supply first, the rest of your computer might still be working.

yes ill try a ordinary psu and if that works then yeah... Get a
good psu mind you when I had this built they clearly didn't listen
when I asked for cpu of 3.6 ghz and a gtx 690

but I was told that the gtx 760 surpassed the gtx 690
