Newly Set Up PC doesn't turn on

[danyjr]

sigh...

I'm cooling the LGA 1150 (4770k) using a Corsair H100i.

I've got 4 cables coming out of the pump:

2 x 4 pin connectors, each connected to a fan.
1 x USB cable connected to motherboard USB header.
1 x SATA power connector connected to PSU SATA Power
1 x 3 pin connector connected to motherboard's 4 pin (marked as CPU_FAN on a Gigabyte GA-Z87X-UD4h).

Also regarding connecting the chassis's Power cable (2 pin), does it matter which orientation I choose to connect it to the motherboard (e.g. is there a negative/positive or either way will do)?

Just wanted to make sure these are ok.

Also what are the minimum components to connect to the motherboard to make it power up? Basically I want to take everything off apart from the bare minimum and see what's wrong.

Many thanks in advance.

Silly me...it was actually the plug that was not working )

Thanks for the advice though

Just a question...when I booted the PC for the first time with Windows 8 DVD it asked me which drive I want to install it on (250GB SSD or 2TB HDD) which obviously I chose the SSD.

Now though with Windows installed I cannot seem to find the HDD no more. What's going on?!
