Figured it be the power supply or CMOS battery so i swapped both. Still nothing. Forget getting it to post, i can't even get a fan to spin. It's like it's getting no power at all even after swapping the PSU and battery.
And yes, i've tried plugging into different wall outlets/power strips.
In all my years i've never seen a computer do nothing . There's usually a fan spinning, a beep, SOMETHING. So i'm a bit miffed here.

If it's literally doing nothing, you already did the most obvious thing - replace the PSU.
It's possible that something in the mobo is causing it. For one, check your standoffs and make sure the mobo is clear of the case. A short there could cause this. Also, it's possible the power connector on the mobo is the problem.
Try the new PSU with a different mobo and see if it powers on?
