I recently bought a Z97 motherboard, along with a Intel i5 4690k and a GeForce GTX 760 to upgrade my previous build. I just received the parts, so the first thing I did was "breadboard", I installed the CPU, and plugged in the PSU to make sure everything was working fine, and the PSU won't even power on! This is the second time Ive had this error(I got an RMA for the motherboard a week ago and just received the replacement). I tested the PSU with the paper clip trick, and it turned on. It also worked with my previous build completely fine. Any ideas why this occured and what I can do to fix it?

It's a very poor power supply , it only has a combined 35 AMPS ON THE 12V + rail , which is super low for a 600w PSU.

I figured it had something to do with it. Anything you recommend with the same wattage?

Not sure how to do all that(I'm on an iPad), but how is this. It's the same price online, but I picked it up from a retailer while it was on sale: EVGA 600B 600W 80+ Bronze Certified ATX Power Supply

The 600B is decent , WOULD BE a much better choice.
