When I press the start button, nothing happens. I already checked all PSU connections, RAM insertion, cleared the CMOS with the jumper... Any advice is welcome.
 
Make sure you have the power button connected to the motherboard.
To make sure your power button isn't the cause of the issue you can use a screw driver to touch the two pins that tell the computer to power on.

Some power supplies have a power switch on the back. Make sure it's on.

Make sure your surge protector has power and it switched on. (A good way to test is to plug something else into that same outlet and make sure it works.)

Make sure you have the main motherboard power cable connected and the secondary 4 pin motherboard power connector is connected. (usually near the CPU area)

Do any fans spin?
Do you hear any beeps?
Do any lights turn on at all?

A power supply tester might be a good option.
I have this one:

My PSU worked just now with the older parts.
Pc specs are:
Asrock h81m-vg4
Hd6770
OCZ firepower 500w PSU
4GB DDR3 RAM
Intel Celeron g1840
500gb 7200rpm hdd
120gb adata ssd
 


Yee it took me a while first time to figure out which way to plug them in, after a while i found you have to face the metal side upwards facing the PCIE slot.
