Im having some serious problems with figuring out everything. I've read the manuals over many times but I'm not sure if I have plugged most of the cables in right.

I also have no idea how to use the SATA cables because I only seem to have 2 but I need 3 for my SSD HDD and CD drive.

If anyone can skype or just help me out that would be great.

I'm on mobile so I'll just add my build here for any extra help.

CPU: i7-6700k
RAM: 8gb hyperx
Mobo: MSI Z170A Gaming Krait 3x
HDD: Seagate 500GB
SSD: 240GB Sandisk Ultra II
PSU: Antec High Current Gamer (620W) Bronze +80
Case: Fractal Design Define R5

Please post a picture showing the rest of the components, I cannot see if you plugged in all the cables correctly if I can only see a small section. You are going to need to buy another sata cable. Plug the SSD and HDD in for now.

I also just tried to power it on and nothing happened.

What your holding in the first picture, is the cases fan controller. If the mobo does not have enough slots for the case fans, then plug a power connector into that and connect all the case fans to that. All the cables seem to be plugged in correctly, when you powered it on did the fans spin?

I plugged the case fans in the mobo. Where would I connect the fan controller cables into?

Also yes the fans didn't spin. If you think everything looks good I must need to check loose wires or something.

I used it for my old build and it's supported it well

You don't need to plug the fan controller cables into anything, because you are not using them. Did you plug in the CPU power cables?

SageOnly · Nov 22, 2016

I plugged the CPU cables in. Maybe something just isn't working.

Try replugging every cable. If that doesn't fix it then it`s either a short, a dead PSU, bent pins or a bad mobo(very rare). Take the CPU fan off and then the CPU. Are any of the pins bent? If none of the pins are bent then to eliminate the possibility of something shorting and shutting down the PSU, you will need to pull the motherboard out of the case and reassemble the components on an insulated surface. When you have done that, turn on the mobo by shorting the power button pins with a screwdriver.

This is a good checklist to go through: http://www.tomshardware.com/faq/id-1893016/post-system-boot-video-output-troubleshooting-checklist.html
