Need full system specs to start.

Knowing your pc specs would be helpful. Does nothing turn on at all, or does only the screen stay black?

 

[cooperthomas15]

I put the specs on my thread just now sorry

 

[yeti_yeti]

Well, first off all, you bought really outdated components. As for fixing the problem, I would go through all the cables (especially the small +,- ones) and make sure they are all where they need to be.

 

[logainofhades]

I wouldn't be surprised if that junk no name PSU is DOA. As stated above, that is really outdated parts. I would recommend returning them all, except for maybe the graphics card, and get something more modern. Even a Ryzen 1200 is far better than that FX-8300, and they are pretty cheap.

 

[cooperthomas15]

I thougt that was the problem at first but I double checked it and do you think I just need to buy better parts?

 

[logainofhades]

Yes I think you should. Give us a budget, and we may be able to help you.

 

[cooperthomas15]

my budget is 500$

The case lights comes on and thats it nothing is but ill try taking the motherboard outside the case and rebuild it ourside the case

 

[logainofhades]

That RX 560 is probably the only thing I would say to keep. This should give you a rough idea, of a more modern setup.
