New mobo and cpu build not working?

Hello, I don't know if I put this in the right category.

-I had an a8-3850 on an a55m-p33 mobo with a gtx 650 ti, everything worked great for a year since I built it.
-Just recently I decided to upgrade and bought an fx 6300 and ASUS m5a 78 lx mobo.
-The system doesn't boot, nothing turns on when I push the power button on the case. (Not the fans not the gfx card not even a light.
-My question is, what could I/should I try first to resolve the issue?
-My concern is that the board short circuited or something, even though it advertises anti-surge on the box, is that the same thing?
-Also while I was putting the cpu on, I placed it incorrectly at first (didn't close or put heatsink on), putting on the heatsink gave me a hard time, did I bend some pins or what? Would a broken cpu not let the system start at all.
