Some things to try
Ensure voltage is selected correctly on your PSU and that it is switched on
Ensure both power plugs are pluged into the mobo (ie including the 4 pin plug)
Ensure your ram is in slots 1 and 2 if just two sticks, try with just one stick in slot 1 to start with.
Ensure nothing is shorting out on the case
Move any SATA connections to 3 or 4 to start with.
Ensure that your headers are in correctly for your front panel jumper (NOTE THAT SOME DRAWINGS ARE  UPSIDE DOWN IN THE MANUAL!)
Remove all PCI cards.
Importantly
Remove any PS2 peripherals and try to power on. if this works try using USB with USB keyboard and mouse emulation turned on.
come back and tell us how you got on..
