Sanctorum wrote I'm a bit late since you've left it with "Geek Squad" but just so you're aware, it's always good to build everything outside of the case first to check that all components are working. Plugging everything in other than the GPU and powering on, then plugging the GPU and powering on. This way, you know if there is a problem before going through the actual build. Once you've tested it and are happy it's working, start installing components in to your case. Take your time when building, don't rush.

I had a case a year ago when helping a friend build his PC, the PSU that he got was not working. We tested it before installing and it wouldn't work. I had a hunch it was the PSU and took mine out of my personal PC and tested with that and his PC worked fine so he contacted the place he bought the PSU from and got a replacement FOC.

Yeah, I know what your saying. They offered to run some tests on it for free, so I left it with them and turns out the PSU wasn't powerful enough, and the graphics card was faulty. Going to RMA the graphics card and return the PSU for a Corsair 700W.
Thank you for all the advice, I'm sure I'll use it in the future!

what was/is the current PSU?
That system would easily run off of 450W

The PSU was a EVGA 500w. It wouldn't boot on that so I returned it and got a Corsair 750M.

Have you put the graphics card in
