Welcome to the forums, newcomer!

Remove the discrete GPU from the build, then see if you can get display off the motherboard/iGPU. Which two slots are the rams populating on the motherboard? You will need to elaborate on the model of your ram. Inspect the CPU's socket for any bent or broken pins.

I tried two different psu's and the results were the same - some motherboard led's lit, but there was no power to the fans, the led's, to the gpu or the case peripherals (like the led outline of the on/off switch).. And this is the second motherboard with the same results. To answer your specific question, the two ram sticks
