Alright I got a standard 430 watt power supply that came with my case.
I put all the parts together and plugged it in to see if it would power up...I saw the case light up (the lights) for like half a second and then it went out. I made sure everything was connected right and double checked everything.. switched power on/off blah blah and still nothing.
Could I have a faulty power supply? or can I do something else about it?

if it wont stay on after trying that you need to return that one, if does stay on it sounds like you need a more powerful one. try this to see what you need,
