After I installed all the parts, connected all the wires. I pressed the front power switch. It failed to boot up but, then i reliazed that the psu fan moved for maybe about 3 seconds. My motherboard has the green light on it and there is no front led light on the case. What is Wrong?

Did you put spacers (stand-off's) between the Motherboard and the mounting area (Tray) of the case?
Is the 4pin or 8pin CPU power connector from the Power Supply pluged into the motherboard connector located close to the CPU socket?
24 pin connector pluged in?
Reset button on Power supply? Power switch on ?

What have you tried so far?
