Issues booting an Z170M Pro4S

   Hi,
So I'm having some issues booting up my newly assembled computer. (I have listed all the specs at the bottom of this post for information).

Granted, this is the first computer I have assembled in about a decade, so I'm a bit rusty. I connected everything and the power turned on, graphic card lights up and fans start spinning and I get three long beeps from the speaker and nothing on the monitor. I then took out the motherboard, and noticed the RAMs weren't all the way in their slots. I reconnected them (properly this time) and plugged everything back in.

Now when I hit the power button, same thing, lights and fans activate, but this time no beeps at all and still nothing on the monitor.

Could someone please assist me with what may be wrong? I'd be happy to provide pictures of everything if that would be of assistance. Any help is greatly appreciated as I can't really afford for this computer not to work.
