Update your post to include full system hardware specs and OS information.

Motherboard, make and model?

PSU? Modular? Were you re-using cables from the old/original PSU?

What specific wire did you plug into the System 1 fan?

If you were working (as it appears) with the power turned on there is a very good chance that you caused an electrical short and fried the motherboard and/or other components.

More information needed.

Who works with a system plugged in? I smell a troll here. For now to play your game, be more specific, what it does now? Any fans, spinning, lights getting on or completly dead?

It’s a brand new cpu. The old one was very tangled so I unplugged everything. I started with replugging in the fans and the RGB when it happened

Nothing is happening I’m not even sure the PSU is even working

OK, now remove all conections from motherboard and jump start the PSU, green and black wire conected with a paper clip or any metal, if it starts then the PSU is fine.

First, unplug the pc from the wall. Give it a minute. If you tripped a protective circuit (like the SC short circuit, circuit protection), it needs a complete power off cycle to reset. A pc that's plugged in is never 'off', it's in Standby mode, waiting to start the OS. It takes unplugging and waiting for the caps to drain in order to reset its internal 'breaker' so to speak.
