hi there,
after a lot of research and thinking I bought these computer parts from newegg and put them together, now it doesnt boot up.i googled a little and figured out that my mobo supports only dual channel rams. and i bought only one stick of ram. here are my parts.

Newegg.com - ASRock B75M-DGS R2.0 LGA 1155 Intel B75 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 Micro ATX Intel Motherboard
G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 4GB 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1333 (PC3 10666) Desktop Memory Model F3-10666CL9S-4GBRL - Newegg.com
Intel Core i5-3330 Ivy Bridge 3.0GHz (3.2GHz Turbo) LGA 1155 Quad-Core Desktop Processor Intel HD Graphics 2500 BX80637i53330 - Newegg.com
CORSAIR Builder Series CX500 500W ATX12V v2.3 80 PLUS BRONZE Certified Active PFC Power Supply - Newegg.com
Newegg.com - EVGA 01G-P4-3655-KR GeForce GTX 650 Ti BOOST 1GB 192-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 SLI Support Video Card

could that be the reason it doesnt boot up ? could there be any other reasons ? does the gpu work with the mobo ?Help would be appreciated!

It should've booted with one stick of ram. Your problem lies somewhere else.

Do you have the 4/8 pin CPU power plugged in?

Everything is compatible.

This.

Check to make sure all cables are secure and that the video card and RAM is seated properly. Make sure the RAM stick is in the slot closest to the CPU. Clear the CMOS is you have to.

If all of this fails take the GPU out and the motherboard. Place the motherboard with no HDD or extra USB plugged in on the motherboard box for a test bed and plug your monitor into the onboard video.
 
This issue could be any number of issues.

A few questions
1 When you boot up is there any beeping?
2 Do you even get to the motherboard screen (bios)?
