Are you getting any post warning beeps?
Is it posting at all?
Do the fans power up?
You push the button and????????????

If you can't get it to power up at all you should start by checking to make sure all the necessary power connections are properly connected and that the switch on the back of the power supply is on. You can also check to make sure you have connected the power switch to the correct pins on the motherboard, this is one of the more common issues with new builds not powering up. 

So when you press the power button nothing at all happens? Are the LED lights on the LAN port lit? If they are not then there is no power getting to the board. Be sure to check if the clear CMOS jumper is set to "1 and 2" not "2 and 3" if the jumper is set in the "clear" (2 and 3) position the board will not power on. Also make sure that the 24pin power connector is firmly seated and its clip is in place, I have often seen these connections be very tight to the point where it looks like they are in but in fact are not making contact.

The switch on the power supply does not power up the system, you need to have the case power switch connected to the motherboard, instructions as to how to do this should be in your user manual that came with the motherboard.

what hes saying is,,wrong switch,,,power supplies have their own switch,that does not power up computer,more like a emergency kill switch......to power computer the power switch/button is on the case/tower,most likely the front of case.
