Ok I have all the parts for my new computer, I went to install all of them and turn it on and got no power. I have the 24 pin and the 8 pin connectors to the Mobo, connected the power button connectors and all the other connections and no luck.

My setup is
Gigabyte 790X Mobo
Antec 650W. PSU
Phenom II X4 940B.E CPU
Dual Radeon HD 4850 Graphics
Lite-On Blu-ray player
640GB HDD

Did you turn on the computer from the rear I/O switch?

Yes I turned the switch on the power supply, I have tested the power supply and I was able to get my fans to turn on by testing the green wire and a ground on the connector coming from the psu, but when I connect it to the Mobo and push the power button nothing happens.

Try reseating the RAM and video card.

Speaking of RAM, why no mention?

I am running 2G right now, just so I could set all the drivers and bios up, my new ram is coming tomorrow. Just for verification, the video card shouldn't be the issue, I could have it out and the mobo should still run I would just have no picture, I don't know if that is the same for the ram.
