So I've recently been building my first custom PC. I've carefully read all the manuals and done everything they said. But luck hasn't seemed to be on my side. First I used the wrong credit card and the payment didn't clear. Newegg didn't seem to think I ought to be informed of this though. Next I got a defective motherboard and I had to send it back and get a replacement. Well now I have again installed everything as I was told and this time when I switch on the PSU the LEDs briefly flash on then shut off. The LED on the GPU is the only one that actually stays on. I don't know weither this is a PSU problem or what but the Manuel doesn't seem to cover it. Specs Below.
btw I used a anti-static wrist strap. Help.

GPU: ASUS GTX760-DC2OC-2GD5 GeForce GTX 760 2GB 256-Bit
CPU: Intel Core i5-4670K Haswell 3.4GHz LGA 1150 84W Quad-Core Desktop Processor
HD: Seagate Barracuda ST1000DM003 1TB 7200 RPM
Motherboard: GIGABYTE GA-Z87-D3HP LGA 1150 Intel Z87 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s
Memory: G.SKILL Sniper Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3
PSU: Rosewill HIVE Series HIVE-750 750W Continuous @40°C
DVDROM: SAMSUNG DVD Burner SATA Model SH-224DB/BEBE - OEM
 
Solution
Specifically re-seat the installed RAM (clean contacts and blow out slots) and reboot to check beeps.

Make sure that the RAM is in the correct recommended slots. If problem persists, try repositioning the RAM to the secondary slots (same colored slots).
Oh my god I finally got the BIOS working. After the tenth try of reinserting the memory I decided to try and blow on the port again. There must have been something in there blocking it from clicking in. Only one problem... I got it working breadboarding but I've tried interesting it 2 time into the case and both time I pt it in the case and it doesn't work. I take it out do the exact same thing and it does work. There were standoffs preinstalled in the case and no wires seem to be running under the motherboard.

 
I finally got it working! I decided before spending another $100 on a case just to try 1 more time. I went around with the wires differently this time and it finally worked! I think one of the wires that comes with the case must have been short-circuiting it. Well thank you so much for your help, I definitely couldn't have done without it :).
