Hi I'm upgrading my standard hp pavilion with a ryzen 5 1400. I have got a gigabyte ga-ab350m gaming 3 motherboard and a ryzen 1700. 2 8gb corsair vengance 3000 ram and a raedon graffics it's all fitted into the case but I'm getting nothing when I press the power button. My power supply is only 300w should I get a 500w power supply for It? Any other suggestions to get it working would be appreciated.
Ps this is by first build so don't know all the lingo

Most likely you will need a standard ATX case , most of the prebuilt cases have different power pinouts.
Also I would get a decent 550W PSU , will be great with a new case and if you add a GPU later.
