Home built PC

[aaronSCO]

Hi, I have recently built a computer with the following specifications:
Intel i5-2500K Processor
Cooler master 12 EVO
ARCTIC POWER 700
Gigabyte Z68X-UD3H-B3
1 tb hitachi
2 X 4GB CORSAIR RAM DDR3
RADEON HD 5850
As far as I'm aware this is all compatible. But when i start my computer nothing happens. The lights on my motherboard flicker for a second but nothing powers up.

I thought it may either be the power supply or the processor, any ideas would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

sounds like it could be your power supply, or your motherboard.

i bet you didnt plug in a power connector next to the cpu or have the power button plugged into reset. or something like that.

but start with this guide.
