I assembled my new build last night and went to power it on for the first time and only got about 1/2 a second of power and then nothing. I went through all the troubleshooting procedures and got it to boot up to bios fine without the sata cables to HDD and SSD connected. As soon as I connect the sata cables to the HDD and SSD nothing..it only gives me the 1/2 second of power and then I have to unplug the PSU and wait a bit before trying again. It boots fine without the HDD's connected though. I also tried using a different HDD with the same results except when I put it back in it's original tower it no longer worked.

Specs are

CPU: i5-4670k
MOBO: Gigabyte z87x OC
PSU: Seasonic G650 SSR-650RM
Memory: 16gb DDR 1600MHZ Adat
GPU: R9 280x sapphire toxic
SSD: Adata SX900 256gb
HDD: WD Caviar blue 1tb
