Hello @MagicalMoon! Welcome to the Community.
I've moved your thread to the Hardware Support section since this is more troubleshooting focused.
As for your build, we actually have a guide covering all the basic troubleshooting steps to go through should you have any issues getting a new system to boot:
https://www.microcenter.com/tech_center/article/5715/how-to-troubleshoot-a-new-build-that-will-not-post
That will cover all the basics. Run through that and see if you can get it up and running, if not let us know if you have any questions and we'll see what we can figure out -
great! thank you so much!
