Hello and welcome to Tom's!

Just to rule out some of the common mistakes, please run through this checklist and post back if you find anything.

yes i've tried all that no luck , not even the led's on the motherboard turn on. the only thing that happens is that the case fans spin and the psu fans spin

I don't know man, I'm thinking you have some DOA hardware somewhere. If you went through that checklist carefully and didn't find the issue.... might be time to start RMA'ing some parts one at a time to find the culprit. I'd start with motherboard probably.
