http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/3Zh67P (some things missing from the list but the basics are there)

So it's been a while since my computer actually broke. Basically I moved the thing 1ft from where it was (as gently as can be) and then when i booted it up, nothing.
The fans whir, the HDD spin the little MB light comes on but no output.

I replaced the GPU as there's no built in gfx, still nothing.
I replace the MB with the exact same, new, but nothing.
I figure it's the CPU but not sure why it would suddenly just die.

Any thoughts?

Turn the system all the way off, unplug the power cable, hold in the front panel power button for 5 or so seconds, then plug it back in while holding the button until it turns on. That should return everything to factory settings. 

Fine you want the PSU tier list? Have the PSU tier list: https://linustechtips.com/main/topic/1116640-psu-tier-list-40-rev-103/

If moving your computer broke it, that's some bad luck. I have been moving a lot of computers around and I wasn't being extra careful and nothing ever happened. Were you touching any components without being properly grounded? You can try the ram sticks, take one or the other out, or try different ram if you can. Also, if you have access to similar cpu, try switching it.

It was a while ago but i'm sure it wasnt a short. 
Tried the RAM. 
The only thing i can't/have yet to replce is the CPU, so im sure it's that. 
But, knowing my luck, I'll be wrong. 
I've just had to buy a replacement becuase i have no other AM3+'s 
:(

Have you checked the monitor? Also if the CPU is dead what would happen if you tried to power up with the CPU removed from the mobo? Would you expect the same thing as its doing now?

Monitor's are fine. Using them now with a Surface Pro 3. 
Not sure about removing it. I'll give it a try.

Holy hell i hate my life.
I've replaced the CPU.....still doesn't work. 
I have no idea what it could even be.
There's no way all 4 RAM sticks are dead so it can't be the Ram.
It didn't work when i replaced the MB now it won't work when i replace the CPU.

I'm tempted to just skint myself and go for skylake but im not spending £600 to have it not work again ¬_¬

Completely disassemble the computer and rebuild again checking all connections. Just thinking of a solution that cost no money.
