I am attempting to upgrade an existing motherboard to this. I am not getting it to post at all.

I have a Corsair 430 watt power supply,
a 750 gb SSD,
a 2 gb HDD
and either a EVGA 90 W or 116 W video card.
one DVD recorder
It is running Win 10 64 bit home with 16 GB ram.

Should the power supply be a problem? Other questions at Tom's Hardware imply it may be. If so what size power supply do you recommend for this configuration? Or any other suggestions?
 
Solution
I have a system with 6 1TB hard drives, a RAID controller, and this board running off that same power supply. I don't think your power supply is the problem.
