Hi guys I have just built my new gaming PC running an
Intel Core i7 6700k, Gigabyte Geforce GTX 1070 8gb video card (base clock), Asus Z170-A ATX LGA1151 Motherboard, 16gb Corsair Vengence ddr4 2400 memory, Samsung 850 EVO-Series 500gb SSD, Western Digital 1tb hard drive, and a EVGA 650W Power Supply.
So what happened was I powered it on the first time and everything looked promising... The fans spun, the lights turned on, the power supply worked, literally every piece
Of hardware worked except for my peripherals. My keyboard wouldn't light up, my mouse would turn on, not even my monitor would display bios. It's the strangest thing. So I thought I would post on this awesome cite to see what u guys would say to help me.
Thx in advance for help. :)

I doubt it has anything to do with your RAM. It is of course possible that it could be a faulty motherboard but it is unlikely that all the ports malfunction.

Another thing to consider, check and see if you connected your screen directly into the motherboard or into the graphics card. It should be connected to the graphics card. Also remember to choose HDMI input on your monitor to see if that helps as well.

Here are some thoughts:

1) If you are using a wireless mouse and keyboard, they will likely not function as they have not been able to automatically install the drivers since you have not connected to the internet as of yet. Try using a wired mouse and keyboard.

2) As for your display, I'm wondering if it could be a loose connection or that you possibly have not chosen the right display setting, hdmi/displayport/dvi/vga?

Hope this helps!

My keyboard is wired but my mouse is wireless with a usb stick, I am using hdmi for video and I have checked and nothing is loose. Do u think it has something to do with my motherboard or even ram?
