Alright, So I am building my own computer and I've got everything in it (CPU, Motherboard, Ram, Video Card). I did all the cables and made sure every single cable was where it should be and that they were plugged in properly. So then I plugged the PSU (EVGA 430 W1, 80+ WHITE 430W, 3 Year Warranty, Power Supply 100-W1-0430-KR) into a working power source but then it did nothing, after doing this many times I made sure everything was working in order and stuff and tried again... Nothing.. the computer was silent like nothing. Should I replace my PSU?

either 2 defective PSU or another part of your system is broken, get an another mobo. 

The motherboard shouldnt be affected.. Remember, the PSU fans arent even spinning in the first place and also, I dont hear anything at all when plugged in. Either that or I dont get how a PSU works
