Fans won't spin but MB lights up, need help.

First off I am using a Cooler Master h500 case with dual 200mm rgb fans in the front and 3 Deep Cool 120mm rgb fans on the top and back. My motherboard is an Asus ROG Strix x470-f gaming and my power supply I am using is an EVGA 650w 80 Gold modular. I first tested to see if the PSU worked by connecting all of the cords I planned to use in the build and using the tester block on the end of the 24 pin powered up the PSU, it worked. Then I tested the rbs using moles and the fans using sata power, everything lit up and spun beautifully. Then I decided to install the motherboard and test the fans, rgb on them and power button on the case. I plugged everything into the right headers and turned on the power supply, the only thing at this point that happened was the rgbs on my motherboard lit up but my PSU fan was no longer spinning or making noise, none of the case fans were spinning or lit up. I also tested the button on the case, nothing. Then tried jumping to see if the fans would turn on, nothing. I NEED HELP WITH THIS SEVERELY! I'm afraid it's a faulty MB however I get a red light indicating no ram which is good and rgbs on deck working, also the front fans were still plugged into the sata power so if it's a bad MB shouldn't the two front fans still spin? Is it that 650w is not enough power for everything I'm trying to hook up please help.

Unplug everything, except your psu and mobo power, take out your gpu and ram, do you get beeps then? 
Input ONE stick of ram closest to the CPU , does it boot up then?
Then switch out that stick of ram for another, does it boot now?
Insert all sticks of ram and boot.

650w is most certainly enough.

Basically, if you cant get fans to spin with just power, and your cpu your mobo/cpu is broken.

I don't believe it'll do anything if the ram light is on. I have this same motherboard and when I first hooked everything up i had the same issue. Take your ram out and reapply it making sure it's in the correct a2 and b2 spots if you have a 4x2 or 8x2 ram configuration. Press firmly on it until you hear the click. Mine took several tries.
