First ever PC build,
First I'll list parts:
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/sfJdYr
OR
MoBo: MSI 760GMA-P34(FX) "MS-7641 (v5.1)"
CPU: AMD FX 4350 Black Edition
Memory: G.SKILL Ripjaws Z DDR3 2400MHz (2x4GB)
CPU Heatsink: Cooler Master Hyper T2
GFX: Power Color Red Dragon RX 470 (4GB GDDR5)
PSU: Corsair VS400
I built the system into a Rosewill Ranger-M case and when I turn it on with everything installed, every fan spins, the lights turn on, but I get no display from MoBo VGA or video card HDMI and no beep codes. The computer also does not reboot (all fans spin continuously and all lights stay on).
If I turn it on with no memory inserted, I do get 3 long beeps indicating that it doesn't detect the memory, so the speaker is working and so are beep codes in general.
I have been through the checklist (http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/261145-31-perform-steps-posting-post-boot-video-problems) and nothing in it was my problem. The only thing from the checklist that I cant be sure about is the CMOS reset. My CMOS reset is only 2 pins and doesn't come with a jumper.
With my PSU disconnected from the wall, I tried shorting the CMOS pins for 5 seconds with a paper clip and with a screwdriver, and tried shorting the battery, and tried removing the battery for about 2 minutes.
I did remove the mobo from the case and turned it on sitting on the MSI box, got the same results (3 beep code with no memory, nothing at all with memory)
4 pin for CPU and 24 pin for MoBo power are both connected and secure. Memory and video card are properly seated. Tried each memory dimm in each slot to boot and got nothing still.
My few doubts:
I really have run out of ideas and research has not helped me at all.

My few doubts:
1. Memory could be causing the problem since it is clockes @ 2400 and mobo only supports up to 1600 (shouldn't it just underclock to mobo max?)
2. I read a 5-7 year old forum post somewhere that this mobo has 125w CPUs on its official list but in reality won't handle them under load (It should still boot at least, right?)
3. Maybe the HDMI out of the video card needs drivers and the VGA out of mobo has no onboard graphics? (I'm still not getting any beep to indicate successful POST with no video anyway)
4. Maybe I got a bad part? (Everything is brand new from newegg.com) I have so much freaking packaging that I probably wouldn't even know what goes with what if I tried to return it!!
I really have run out of ideas and research has not helped me at all.
