I finally got everything today for my first ever build. Took the day off work to put it together and get it up and running. Followed all instructions given, and here's what happens:
I flip on the power supply, and I see the green LED on the motherboard light up, as well as the blue light next to my video card (labeled "my_stat" that flashes whether the video card is in or not). I press the power button on the front, and simultaneously I can hear a click from the PSU and the LEDs on the front panel of the case flash on and then shut off. About 12 seconds later, I hear the click and the front LEDs turn on and shut off. This repeats for as long as I have the power supply switched on.
So, I followed all the advice in the sticky (make sure all connections are in, verified standoff positions, I tried with and without the video card in (when in, fully seated), swapped RAM and checked position, checked everything CPU related- no bent pins, seated the right way, plastic cover removed, heatsink seated properly). Even removed the motherboard onto the cardboard box it came with and rechecked everything (and the bare minimum connections) and the same thing happens. No fans turn on- not the heat sink for the CPU, none of the chassis fans either.

G.SKILL NS Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model F3-1600C11D-8GNS
I don't have a speaker for the motherboard so I can't check for any beeps.
I'm wondering where I should start. I feel like the motherboard is fine since the power LED is lit. I plan on ordering a 650 watt power supply to swap out with the stock 500 watt PSU that came with my tower. That's where I'm starting, but does anybody have any further suggestions?
