I just ordered a new psu and a gpu from newegg. I installed it and now my computer isn't working. No fansa re turning on. Maybe its a psu problem and I didn't do wiring correctly or it might be the gpu. usually when I press the power button it lights up but this time it didn't do that. I opened up the case to see if any of the fans were working and nonw of them were working. Then I checked the 20 pin main motherboard connector to se4e if it was in place and it was so now I do not have any idea what went wrong. My gpu requires 2 6 pin connectors. One of the wires say PCI e so I plugged that, the other wire says B and I plugged tht in since it was 6 pin. One of these things psu or gpu is not working because it was working fine with my old stiff. Now I do not know what the problem is. please help.

The psu I am using is xfx ts series 550W. and the new gpu is gigabyte gtx 660.

You also need to plug in the 6/8 pin power connector to the CPU or the PC wont boot.

I dont know your motherboard but up by the CPU there will be a fan header title something like CPU fan - the plug will only go on one way with a groove onto that fan. See this video at 41 min mark.

You may have damaged something. Watch that video and reinstall all your parts and see if you can get the system to POST
