So when I first got everything setup correctly the computer would turn on but nothing else. The fans would spins, and that was it. No post, no beeps, no display. Nothing.

So I decided to flip the CMOS Jumper while the PC was still running. I have a feeling that was a horrible idea. Anyways I do that and then accidentally leave it in the clear CMOS thing forever. I notice and correct the issue. Well I I decide to take the memory out and see what happens. I boot it up. 3 long beeps.

I turn the PC off. I decide to put the memory back in. Another 3 long beeps and no display.
I try putting only 1 card in. 3 Beeps. I switch them. 3 Beeps. I try them in different slots. 3 beeps. So what should I do?

I have tried removing everything but the CPU. PC starts up, no display as it isn't plugged in and no beep.

I try just leaving the CPU and GPU plugged in. No beeps no display.

I turn on the PC with everything unplugged. No Beeps, no display ofcourse.

So I then decide to plug the everything back in. 3 beeps, no display, fans running.

CPU has been hot during all of this.

Everything has been plugged in correctly. Some plugs were loose during the first no beeps but I fixed that and the beeps came

I have an FX-8320, Mushkin Stealth RAM 8GB 2 4GB sticks 1600Mhz, Radeon 7770,

So I should probably replace it or get a different brand?

Yes I would suggest you to replace it, I suggest you G-Skill or Corsair Vengeance 1600Mhz RAM. They are good !
