So i decided to build my own computer most of my mates had done the same and had great results.But when i turn it on the leds just flash for a milisecond and thats it.
I have been over my wires 30 plus times and made sure everything is perfect. I first thought it was because my power supply came with a 4 pin and not an 8 pin but i bought an adaptor and still the flash of led. Then i thought it was because my 24 pin has a wire missing but this is normal looking at other peoples threads.
Apart from that everything fits well i got the motherboard and cpu as one package everything is ddr3 so i made sure i bought that. The only thing i havnt got is a optical drive. But have now ordered one.
Can anyone make suggestions?

Take out the GPU and forget about it. You do not need it. Return it. It is WORSE than the integrated graphics on that CPU.

Best solution
Well, unfortunately, if you can, I would return everything except the HDD and RAM and start over.
The PSU is trash. This is 1000% the most important part of a PC. A low quality one can easily fry everything. Use ONLY the brands I listed. It should be replaced ASAP.
The CPU is a bit weak for a mid+ range GPU. It is not meant to be used with a GPU. It is for HTPC and office computers, not gaming rigs.
If you replace the PSU, you could add something like a gtx660, but I would definitely not get anything more powerful than that for this CPU.
Something like a gtx750TI would be great here. Should be able to still get medium-ish settings out of the computer.
