So i've recently decided to swap to AMD because their prices are great for the performance you get and I wanted to upgrade without breaking the bank. However when I "finished" with my build which was basically just a new MOBO, CPU, RAM (cause it needed to be DDR4), and a 600W PSU for good measure, the pc didnt display anything and my USBs werent working as I noted from my peripherals not lighting up. The CPU fan, back panel fan, front panel fan, and DVD/CD player all functioned fine. I can only assume the SSD and Hard Drive also worked fine as they drew power from the same area/cables as the disc drive. The graphics card fan also started up a little bit but for a small spurt. The specs are:

I've spent my entire Sunday trying to get this thing to work, and I don't really have another PC to game on. I thought I had done enough research but apparently not. I'm desperate at this point and just looking for answers. I checked to see if the CPU was seated correctly, i was pretty sure the first time, but I double checked anyway. At first when I started the PC would run for a few moments and then restart repeatedly, but I figured out that was cause the RAM wasn't seated properly, but I fixed that. Now it still wont display anything to my monitor or pick up my peripherals. I'll try to post some pictures but I dont know if theyll be helpful. I was warned that the mobo may be incompatible with the CPU until a BIOS update, but I didnt think it would be like this, if thats what it is. Does that sound like what the issue is?
