PC won't boot.. :/

I recently saved up all my money to buy all the parts i need to build my first gaming PC. I watched so many videos about how to install it and the case build installations and everything. But when I go to power on the PC it doesn't do anything! I've tried lots of things like trying to start up the PC with a screwdriver and hitting the power prong things that way and nothing still happened. I've tried the RAM and made sure that everything was plugged in all the way. If you have any questions that could help discover the situation and I'll reply as fast as possible. Thank you.

when you press the power button or short with the screw driver do any lights come on, or any fans spin slightly, or there is no sign of life at all?

This may sound obvious but did you switch the power on on the psu.

When i was building my first pc i forgot to plug in my 8pin power connector.Also make sure your jumping the correct pins. Also check that the switch is in the on position on the psu, yeah sounds obvious but sometimes made me panic.

If there is still no life try jumping the psu to see if the fan spins up on the power supply. Like in this video

If im breaking the forum rules with the video ill remove it.

If nothing at all turns on it can be your mobo or psu maybe you can get a cheap psu from a nearby microcenter or something like that and try to use the new psu.
