Hi,
Is it a new setup, can you detail the components, does the CPU fan spin?

if it a new power supply some stores have ps testers.if you have a meter set it to dc voltage. the black wires are ground. the other pins should have 3v 5.5 and 12v on them.

Did you plug in the 8 pin cpu connector? Do you get any beeps?
