I'm at a total loss as to why this build is cursed...

This barebones kit that I bought for my son came with a defective motherboard. So I bought a new motherboard but didn't think to check if the CPU would be compatible. Of course it wasn't so I bought a CPU that was. The fans all work, the on-board LED is lit, and STILL no post beep. ASUS tech support said it was possible that the RAM was not compatible. This was supposed to be a Christmas present. At this rate, I *might* have it nailed down in time for his birthday at the end of April. Any help is greatly appreciated. I'm ready to just go full "Office Space" on this thing.

The CPU is AMD FX 4-Core Black Edition FX-4300. I have no idea how to check which BIOS version it has. I know you can check that if the system is actually working, but not otherwise.
