First off the parts list: PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant CPU: Intel Core i5-4590 3.3GHz Quad-Core Processor ($186.88 @ OutletPC) Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-H81N Mini ITX LGA1150 Motherboard ($71.99 @ Directron) Memory: Kingston Fury Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory ($66.50 @ Directron) Storage: Crucial M500 120GB 2.5" Solid State Drive ($66.06 @ NCIX US) Video Card: EVGA GeForce GTX 750 Ti 2GB FTW ACX Video Card ($126.99 @ NCIX US) Case: BitFenix Colossus Mini Mini ITX Tower Case ($88.98 @ OutletPC) Power Supply: Corsair CX 430W 80+ Bronze Certified Semi-Modular ATX Power Supply ($29.99 @ Newegg) All the peripherals have been plugged in, the monitor as well (Using a DVI-to-HDMI cord), and that is pretty much it. When thepower button is pressed, the fan LEDs turn on for a second then nothing. The PC is dead silent. I've tried using a D-SUB to D-SUB cable for the Graphics card. I've swapped the RAM and also tried using one of each in the the slots. Tried to boot without the HDD and the SSD. Tried reseating the Video Card. Unplugged and plugged the 4+4pin and 24pin power connectors. Also tried using the MoBo's built in DSUB output. (With the GPU card removed) We're way below the Max power output of the PSU I was thinking of rebuilding everything again outside of the case but that's for Saturday. Did I miss anything? Any thoughts? Thanks in advance guys. My pride as a PC enthusiast is pretty hurt right now ~_~

chould be cheaper

ebay should have the similar model for cheaper but higher chance of getting a dead CPU

so maybe 20 bucks at most

Alright. I'll try to haggle with the dude.

In the meantime, we gotta wait for my thermal paste to come in the mail before I can flash the BIOS of my friend's PC. Again, I will update if it works.
