This was actually my second build but the tower does not want to power on. I have tried to troubleshoot myself but can't figure it out.

My build: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/fMwkBP

The motherboard LEDs turn on but that's it. the PSU fan, H7 fan, and the front panel of the tower will not power on either.

Could this be because the tower is dead?
Or could the PSU be the problem since its own fan won't even turn on either?

The one other reason why it won't power on is that I am missing the cable that goes from the optical drive to the motherboard, could this be keeping the tower from turning on as well?

Ok I found out the main problem, I was looking through all posts with my similar problems and did what someone on there suggested. Took out everything and placed my motherboard on to a box with Cryorig H7 still attached and made sure to connect SATA cable for SSD and made sure the power cables are connected to the motherboard and to the SSD. I connected to the wall and powered the tower and everything powered on!!

Apparently, I had one too many standoffs and was shorting the board so now I removed the extra standoff and put everything back in place and now it runs perfectly and I got into BIOS!!

But now I have another problem, It won't let me get past this menu!! :(
