I tried building a pc for the first time. When I press the power on button on the case the fans spin for a second, my phone can charge through the usb for a second and so forth. I know the motherboard is receiving power because the RAM will light up. The three pin PSU cable that came with the PSU is different to the one i'm using now because the one was for a European plug. Will that change anything? I have already moved RAM around.

Please help

6+2 in the 8 pin connector, I think. I can't see in the picture if there was a second connector.
Hello I was looking at the motherboard website page and it says that it supports DDR4 3600(O.C.)/3466(O.C.)/3200(O.C.)/2933/2667/2400/2133 MHz memory modules, my RAM is 3000MHz. Is that why it won't boot?

I probably think that 500w is bottleneck, I don't remember clearly but that might be the reason I didn't buy rx 570.i have run out of all the options.
Do you think it doesn't have enough power for the system? I don't think it's bottlenecking because the PC is running it's just it can't boot.

Did you get anything to see on the screen like motherboard manufacturer or something similar other than monitor manufacturer. If no then the left thing is a damaged port on either GPU, monitor or the PCI e is damaged

The monitor does not show anything, neither do I think the problem is the monitor because it works with consoles and laptops with the same DVI cables. Is it just a matter of replacing the GPU?
