Hello, I have recently tried to build a new pc with the following parts:
Mobo: Asus a88x Plus
Cpu: Amd Athlon x4 860k
Gpu: XFX R9 280x
Psu: Cooler Master Elite v2 550w
and just a hard drive and ram from my previous pc.
After watching many videos and reading many guides I cannot seems to get my pc to work! Everything seems to be running fine when i turn it on like all of the fans and lights properly work but it wont boot. I've tried it on multiple monitors and no luck with any of them. I've also tried taking each part off one by one until it was just the cpu and psu and still no luck. I even removed the mobo battery and let it reset and still no luck. Could anyone please help me get my pc up and ready? :(

 
make sure the mb sitting on top of brass standoffs and not shorted out to the mb case or the io shield.
look at the bios rev of the mb that your using make sure it a a rev that will post your cpu chip. bios 1701 is needed to boot the mb. the last is try another power supply to see if the new one has a bad rail. try booting the mb outside the case see if there a dead short.
