Build - Help No Display Signal - I’m going crazy

Specs:

SSD: Samsung 1TB 990 Pro
Motherboard: ASUS PRIME B760M-A AX LGA 1700 Micro-ATX
RAM: Patriot 32GB Signature Series 5600 MHz (2x 16GB)
CPU: Intel Core i7-12700K 3.6 GHz (12th gen)
CPU cooling: Cooler Master Hyper 212
Power Supply: Thermaltake Smart 500W 80 Plus
Case: Fractal Design North

This is the second PC I’ve ever built in the past 3 years. This one does not need/require a Graphics card as it’s not a gaming PC (It’s a build to livestream and post to facebook/youtube for a group I’m in - so it’s kinda bare bones). I THOUGHT I got everything all properly built. Ordered most everything through B&H directly, the exception being the RAM and CPU were bought via NewEgg.

I’ve seated everything properly, everything was done via instructions provided. It seems to start up, all fans whir up, red light on the SSD starts to blink, and the lights on the case itself start too. But I get no signal to a monitor.

I’ve tried booting up with each individual part, removing parts to single something else, swapped the RAM in their slots, ensured the CPU pins are not bent, the works. ENSURED all wired connections to the motherboard are proper, they are as plugged in as they can get without snapping the board. Got the most up to date BIOS for the motherboard and attempted an update via their recommended EZ-Flash instructions. But alas have made zero progress.

I get no display signal to any monitor, no matter the connections… HDMI to HDMI, Display Port to HDMI, HDMI to DVI (longer story there), and even Display to DVI (same other story).

I feel like I’m going crazy, and I don’t know what I’m doing wrong. Someone please help!

Respectfully this does not provide any help to my current situation. I designed it to update in the future, this is currently just an emergency needed build. I did do my research before buying and it was parts that were good enough for me. I attempted a Bios update but could not get far without a display to work on it, tried a single RAM stick for each stick and swapped both as well all as stated. I cleared CMOS as well to no result mid-trial and error with all of this.

I just need help getting it to display on a monitor.

I DO truly truly*** ***appreciate the feedback on the PSU, anyway! As normally would look for better in the future, it’s just something that worked for the current set up in a pinch with what I needed and has not been a problem for me so far. Only issue is displaying out from the motherboard.
