Okay so I recently got my first PC, it's an HP Pavilion elite500 y and I wanted to play games on it so I needed a new graphics card, the graphics card I wanted pause 170 more watts then my current graphics card so I upgraded my power supply from 300 watts to 475 Watts, but now I don't know why it won't turn on. When I plug it in a light on the motherboard comes on, but if I press the power button it makes a click and doesn't turn on. Can anybody please help me with this problem?

What is the brand and model name or number of the new video card and the new PSU.
Have you tried putting the original parts back in to see if they still work.
As an asides RAZE_404, none of the reputable PSU brands make 475W PSUs which suggests that what you have is a far from reliable replacement PSU.
