Changed cases and computer wont start

Pull all the components out of the case, and bench test. The only way to be sure. Also clear the CMOS.

what is the cmos? Just the heads up this is the most ive been inside the case than ever before.
The last things I ever changed was the graphics cards twice (Nvidia 550 Ti to nvidia 680) and the psu.

What model is your PSU, and how many watts can it output? The 680 is a hefty card, and this is an unlikely scenario given that it worked in your old case, but maybe you could have killed the power supply.

I believe I already mentioned I had a corsair GS 600 watt power supply which is a full 200 watts more than it requires to run.

Anyways the problem was solved, I took it to my local pc shop and they managed to fix it.
 
I should have mentioned this earlier but I forgot. Your power supply has an 8 pin cpu power connector which will split into 2 - 4 pin connectors. This is what you need to use to plug into the cpu power connection on the motherboard. Do not use the 6 or 8 pin pcie power connection for the video card.
