Motherboard or Power Supply? Or Both?

[dqnkmemes]

I moved my GPU, CPU, RAM, HDD, and SSD to a new jcomputer. I bought a new case, motherboard, psu, cpu cooler, fans, and white cables. Here's what's going wrong:

-Old power supply works on new computer
-New power supply doesn't work on old computer
-New power supply did work on new computer but now won't
-Motherboard lights up when old power supply has cord in
-Motherboard used to light up when new power supply flip was switched
-Computer turns on but then turns off instantly when power switch is pressed (both psu)

Case : Phanteks P400S
Graphics Card : Radeon RX 480
Processor : Intel i7 7600
Power Supply : EVGA 550W (new) HP 213w (old)
Motherboard : Asus Prime z370-a (new) random HP one (old)
RAM : 16gb Corsair Vengeance RGB
HDD 1TB WD
Cpu Cooler : NZXT Kraken x62
Fans : 3 SP120 ; 2 HD140

Q :
Do I need a big power supply?
Why doesn't the new power supply make it turn on?

550W should be fine for your system. Have you ensured ALL cables are properly secured/plugged in? Is there any way you can test the 480 with your old board? Have you tried running the system with only the CPU and RAM installed?

All cables are plugged in. I am currently using my old pc setup. I'll try running the system with only the CPU and RAM.

Nothing happens with only CPU and RAM installed. The psu fan turn on (eco mode on) and the motherboard lights don't turn on. I even tried it with a different power supply cord and still nothing.

Might've found the issue you're having here. Did you make a typo when you said you had the i7 7600?

No, I don't think so. Why?

The only thing showing up for me is the i7 7600u, which is a processor usually only found in laptops? Even then, if it's from the 7000 Series, IT IS NOT COMPATIBLE with the Z370 chipset boards.

It's the i7 6700* I just checked the paper. oops

When did you buy all of this hardware? You can either decide to return the board or invest in a coffee lake CPU.

I bought the motherboard and psu on amazon on may 18, 2018. What's wrong with the cpu I have? (i7 6700)

Ah, that's unlucky then. What's wrong with your current CPU? Well, not much really. If I may, why did you buy a new motherboard? Aesthetics, compatibility with a case, or? Your 6700 won't work with the new board thanks to intel introducing a new chipset nearly every single bleeping generation.

I bought the motherboard for the white accents and it said it was compatible with intel so I just assumed it was good. FeelsBadMan

Which motherboard would you suggest that I get that is compatible with my current cpu and has white accents? (preferably asus because I like their bios)

I'd look at ASRock's H270 board https://pcpartpicker.com/product/7zGj4D/asrock-h270-pro4-atx-lga1151-motherboard-h270-pro4 . I can't really find any reasonably priced B/W Asus boards.

Thank you so much!
