Don't know what's wrong, first time building

[RuisuNai]

So I built a pc, then it won't turn on, so I tried to take out the psu then connect the cables to the 24 pin, 8 pin and gpu. It turn on and works fine, so I put the psu back in the pc and connected only the 3 and it won't turn on at all 

 

Extra info : the case shocks me when I touch it if the psu is on 

 

Update : an electrician friend of mine said the psu is leaking

Looks like there is a earthing issue. your PSU must have a short circuit protection that triggers and disables the current flow. Make sure to use 3 pin plug for your PSU and whatever the power extension you use to the wall.

This screams not properly grounded. Like you have stated the most common results. 

You need a three prong outlet, a matching three prong cord, and everything between the PSU and the wall needs to have that third prong to ensure grounding.

My socket is only a 2 prong one 

And the psu only has 2 prongs since it's the standard here

With no ground, sounds like an issue. But, to clarify:

Your PSU looks like it causes issues when it's in the case, but not when it's outside the case?

Inside the case = fan faces down 

Oustide the case = fan spaces up

 

But I tried putting it outside again and it didn't work 

 

So probably need to replace it?

if the case is sparking when you touch it, I think there is some metal touching the motherboard or something that is not supposed to be

If he just built this there could be a standoff somewhere thats in the wrong spot possibly? Just some thoughts.
