So I recently upgraded from an i3 3100 to an i5 3570k and now my pc won't boot. I've also upgraded my psu to a 550 watt. I'm not sure what is wrong

While I can't say for sure, it's pretty doubtful you would need to do that. A newer, updated BIOS should take care of it. The only reason I had to on my MSI 990FX was due to the big generational gap between the cards and the fact that the BIOS I was running was older and I hadn't checked for a newer one.

It should be fine. Your Windows needs to update and I'm fairly sure mine did with the BIOS update and vid card swap.
