i've tried unplugging and replugging in everything. cpu is brand new. gpu is confirmed with alternate computer. mobo is brand new.

 

should i call a computer repair shop and see if i can get help? best buy even?

that would be useful, forgot about that lol. the pc isn't starting up. tried manually starting up with a screwdriver too. no dice.

And why multiple threads with problems with one PC?

What is the problem? One of the first oddities I see is that psu. That is a 9 year old unit that should not be used with a modern computer

Ok so lets just try it first outside of the case. Maybe take some pictures of how everything is installed too?

it was included with my prebuilt 4-5 ish years ago. probably worth replacing but didn't think that it would be the problem. worked fine before i moved to my other case.

What were the specs of said prebuilt? A change in power requirements can easily mess with an old psu like that.

the new mobo & stuff worked with the parts inside the pc right now. the issue only started happening when i moved all the parts to my new case

Ok so eliminate the case from the equation. So do the typical put the board on the motherboard box (A cardboard non conductive box) and test it on there to see if the system works. If that is the case then there is something in your case causing a issue.

Moved board, check clearance/ sounds like the MB got a hit.

 

New board if you cant see the damage

Need more power, 750W should be good

was already planning on getting a new psu but the pc should still boot as it booted and worked fine before

No not at all a good 400w unit can power that system with relative ease.

What is going on with the cpu power header. Why are there multiple that isn't a 6+2pin one hopefully right?

Ok so when you hit power nothing happens right? Like at all? I'd say get a new psu and try with that too as well this thing is very old and may simply not be up to the task it is required to do anymore.

Euhm you plugged a gpu header into your motherboard then. Yeah that kills it quick alright. Pull it out and show what it is.

Ok so those connections look good. You sure you aligned your cpu correctly?

Yeah I don't see anything wrong really. With the screwdriver did you use a generic metal one? Or tried a different one from the one you were using?
