Did you have to press a new button right now?
I checked several different PSU calculators and they all said the system needs less than 650W. When I tried taking the GPU out, every fan started spinning. But putting it back in stopped the PC from turning on, and only a few RGB lights blinked for a second before staying off. The parts look fine to me; there is actually a brand new battery installed. Even though I left the computer plugged in all night, no power came on when I pressed the button. All the front panel connections seem okay too.
The best power supply for that card is about 600 watts. But actually, what brand do they mean? Honestly, I don't trust the calculators. They just tell me to buy more than the computer needs. Also, I'll check all cables and plugs again to make sure everything is connected right.
You will probably find that with that mobo, there is 2 8-pin connectors where one splits into two to the mobo and another 8-pin connector goes to the GPU. I still don't have a PSU for it so I highly recommend you upgrade to a decent branded power supply like a RM750e corsair or something better. Don't forget that PSUs are the life blood of your PC, cheap and nasty ones can cause BANGS and destroy other components.
I don't need to swap out my power supply because the waiting lines at the shop are fake and especially bad on weekends. Also, my PC's last piece of hardware ran dry with cash left over. I took the motherboard off, found one missing screw, put more thermal paste back on, and now I'm putting the water block back on tight against the board. I also changed the power supply wires so only one 8-pin connector goes to the graphics card. I'll be done in a few minutes.
That's a 650W PSU, but only 516W of +12V power shows up on the back panel if you read it wrong. It looks like a very cheap, basic group-regulated unit that can hurt any parts inside it. Do you have a simple graphics card to borrow from someone? Maybe something that cost $20 and just lets your PC run? Does it turn on normally without the GPU, even though nothing seems to happen? The F-series parts aren't great unless you know how to fix things when they break.
