First that power supply is not going to cut it. What are the specs
on that thing, did the psu come with the case? Until you get something
like this

I would not do anything, your underpowered and could fry components,
by undervolting.
You couldnt have picked a more buggy board, unless it was the evga

Though it's a good place to start troubleshooting, if the computer is simply not turning on, buying a new PSU won't change anything (unless the PSU is completely dead.) You certainly need to change it anyway though because that is dangerous to have such a low wattage from a half-rate supplier.
