When I turn on the PSU switch the only visual signs I am getting from the motherboard is a orange light where the ethernet cable is plugged at.
No fan spins and PC switch will not turn on, even tried using screwdriver to manually turn on at the 2pins for casing pwr btn.

20+4 connected to ATXPWR1
CPU1 connected to ATX12V1
Power SW, Reset Btn connected to panel.
Fyi, this is my first build.. anyone know a reliable serviceman that I can call to come over ?

Specs :
Intel I5-4690K
Asrock Z97 Extreme 4
CM Hyper 212 X CPU Cooler
Corsair Vengeance Pro 1600MHZ 8GBx2 CL9
Asus 24x SATA OEM DVD-RW (not installed)
Super Flower Leadex Gold 750w

I am using onboard gpu for now, should I be connecting something from the psu to mobo for onboard gpu? I should at least be able to reach bios right ��

Please check the polarity for your motherboard Power connectors i.e. the + and - pins are connected correctly and ensure that all your connections from PSU to MB are correct. (Refer to MB manual.)

You do not need additional connections from PSU to MB for onboard graphics.

There is a status LED at the bottom of the MB. The number will tell you at which stage the boot-up process is at. I assume that this is not lit up which means your MB is not getting power.

Best case scenario is a wrong connection which prevents your MB from getting power. Worst case scenario is DOA PSU or MB or shorted MB.

Before touching your PC components, please remember to touch the casing first. This is to ground your finger tips as the static electricity there can kill your components. Alternatively, you can wear an anti-static wrist-band.

Connect 8pin power cable to ATX 12V Power Connector (ATX12V1) if you have not done so and it should start.

@Koenig your right the status led does not show, only a orange led from ethernet cable shows.

Are both the 24pin/8pin power cables properly clipped onto motherboard connectors?
