Hello, I need some help here. I just did a custom build (my third one) and I am not getting any video or boot up. If I remove the ram I get 3 short beeps, I can reinstall the ram and nothing. I have tried to reset the bios with the clear cmos jumper with no luck. I have never had this issue. help!

FM2A58M-VG3+ R2.0
CPU AD6300OKA23HL
Mem F3-12800CL9D-4GBNQ

While better than what you had, that still isn't a very good PSU. It is possible that the old one damaged your motherboard. That is why you should never cut corners on PSU quality.
I would say if you havent tried it already, try everything before replacing motherboard.
Secure everything and make sure everything is plugged in firmly.
Try one stick of ram in each slot, then try other ram stick
Reflash bios in case it is corrupted
Try on board graphics and unplug GPU
if everything fails I would replace the motherboard and give it a go that way, but thats just me.
