I have been watching many videos and been doing research for the past three months. I finally got all the parts yesterday and i put my pc togther. I believe i plugged everthing in correctly but when i plug it into the wall there is no reaction at all. I have already went through all the troubleshoot steps on the fourm.
Specs:
Mobo: Msi h110m Gaming
Ram: DDr4 Hyperx Single rank 1x8gb
Cpu: Skylake i5- 6600k
Psu: Cx600 80+ Bronze certified

Just to add in case it wasn't clear...
Make sure you have power at the wall outlet, the switch on the back of the PSU is in the on position and the 24 and 4 pin ATX connectors are fully plugged in. Double check the front panel case wires to make sure you have them attached to the correct pins on the front panel port of the motherboard. You can alternatively touch a screwdriver across the two pins on the motherboard to start it which may tell you if you have a bad power switch on the case. If these things don't work, Google paper clip test of the PSU to make sure it works. If all this fails, we will have to start looking at other things.

Just to add in case it wasn't clear. Your issue lies with either the outlet, power supply, case, or mobo.

The outlet is easy to test. Just plug something else in. Try a different power cord, or try the one you have in a different device.

Power supply: The paper clip test really is the best test. If for some reason, the power supply still turns on and you still believe it is the power supply causing the issue, you could try to just plug in the 24 pin ATX connector to another computer(though this is probably completely unnecessary.

Case: just unplug any and all cables going from the case to the mobo. if the wires for the power button are not attached, then the comp should just come on as soon as it receives power.

If none of the above work, then it is most likely the mobo and should return it
