Unsure why pc not working.

Hello. So I've recently built a new PC from scratch, have all the parts assembled, and got to the point where I am now trying to turn it on, and not being sure why it fails to turn on every time. when power is running, the graphics card lights up, so the parts, which are brand new, work fine. however nothing else happens, the power led does nothing, and I was looking if anyone could point out what is probably very
obvious.

Images aren't working for me.. Have you got all the Front panel connectors on the correct pins?

+1 Your images appeared to be attached to your yahoo mailbox, could you try and upload them somewhere like imgur

But an obvious first step would be to remove all the case cables identify which 2 pins are for the power switch and short them using a screwdriver which should turn things on.

Sorry, are these images better?

I can see these ones, not clearly enough to see what pins you have the Front Panel connectors on... Id start there though and reseat them all double checking they're in the right place and the right way around

What parts are you using, GPU, motherboard, CPU and RAM?

If you have a AMD 5700XT for instance, the PSU may not be powerful enough.

Could be the front panel connected wrong.

No power cables to SSD/HDD. (think you should still get into bios though)

What motherboard and CPU are you using as maybe it needs a bios update to run?.

Looking online, think the motherboard is Gigabyte X570 UD.

Going by the manual, the front panel pins are color coded.

The power switch, as long as it is in the red pins should just work.

The led pins have to be in the correct way or they will not work.

here is a list of the parts I am using.

Your earlier pics show a Corsair CX550M PSU installed, not the RMx 650W in your parts list.

yeah, that's the only discrepancy, sorry
