I recently built my PC, and when I tried to power it on, only the RAM lights up—nothing else turns on. The GPU fans and lights don't spin, and neither does the CPU fan or its RGB lights. I've double-checked that the 24-pin and 8-pin ATX12V connectors are plugged in. I'm using minimal cables since I have an M.2 drive. My GPU is also correctly connected to the power supply with the 8-pin 2+6 cable.
I even tried using my old power supply, but it didn't have the GPU cable, so I ended up getting a new one. All parts are fresh out of the box. Can someone help me figure out my next steps? I'm feeling pretty defeated after all the money spent, and I just want to jump into some Fortnite! I've shared my PC part picker list for reference.

Make sure you’ve connected all the necessary cables properly. Sometimes a loose connection can cause issues like this, especially with the power supply and GPU connections. Did you try reseating the RAM and GPU?
Check for any lights on the motherboard that indicate power status when you turn it on. Are there any little LEDs that light up? That could help diagnose the issue.
