I think my power supply was DOA
This is the build I went with. It's my first build and I spent all day looking up tutorials and putting it together. Only when I went to turn it on there was no power. I used a jumper bridge tool that came with the power supply and its fan wouldn't kick on. My question: is this common and should I just have them send me a new one? Or should I return this one and buy a different brand of power supply and what are your recommendations?
