I'm pretty sure I hooked it up correctly, I was even reading in the books to make sure I wasn't fucking up and then I hit the power button, Shit didn't turn on.
I thought it was the PSU at 1st, But then I tested it on another computer, It works perfectly.
So did I connect something wrong or was it DoA? lol
Check it out

Is there a power supply needed for the graphics card?
Also check the power button wires (the front bezel wires or w.e)

That's the problem, It doesn't even show a sign of it trying to turn on. It doesn't even turn on and off right away. I press the power button and it's like nothing happens

Nothing? No fans spinning or anything at all. Test the power supply by connecting it to some peripheral (i.e. a fan). Make sure the PSU power switch is in the right position and that the power button/front panel cables are correctly connected.
BTW: You should place the RAM DIMMs into slots of the same color to enable dual channeling (i.e. yellow and yellow rather than yellow and red).

I already tested the PSU
I had to connect the PSU to another mobo to test it out.... That's why im thinking the mobo came messed up=/

Look at your motherboard's map, and check if the tiny cable for the POWER is in the correct place (Which connects your case's power button with the motherboard).
Another cause for this to happen is the PS itself. Maybe you need the 500W PS.

400, But I if it was the wattage, Wouldn't it have worked after disconnecting all fans and removing the video card?

What is differenet in the 500W PS, is that it have special extra connectors unlike normal PSs.
But try this before: Remove all the cables which is connected to the power supply and only keep the 20 pin power connector.
Also remove the fans and everything that needs power.

Okey then I suggest you to bring a 500W PS and test it. It will answer so many questions in case it worked or not.
I have to get going now, but will check your topic when I come back.
Report with everything you do.

Insufficient wattage wouldn't explain nothing starting at all.
I would say to make sure 1) the front panel connections are correct (refer to motherboard manual if you need to), and 2) the 20/4 pin connector is plugged in fully (sounds stupid, I know).
Seems you've probably done everything correctly, so there isn't much else to check. If you got the part on Newegg, go for an RMA.

Ahh guys! I posted this @ Eggxpert and they told me todo an external build
(http://www.eggxpert.com/forums/thread/447039.aspx)
To test things out. it turned on perfectly! It's not the mobo or the PSU, The case power button might be fucked up though because it turned on by touching positive with negative with a flathead screwdriver like he said to.

CPU fan is spinning and the mobo LED's are on
