New Pc build won’t boot up

I’ve already gone through some basic trouble shooting. It powers on, but no display. First I got an error code for ram, switched the order of the sticks, and it worked. Then it threw a cpu error code. Tried everything possible without actually removing the cpu, and then finally removed the cpu. While removing the heat sink, it pulled the cpu up with it, and got thermal paste all over the pins. After carefully cleaning the pins, applying more paste, and reseating cpu, it completey fails to even power on now.

 

Update: It just briefly powered on, no longer throwing a cpu error code, however still failing to power peripherals and no display. After turning it off, it no longer turns on.

 

Specs:

 

AMD Ryzen 5 2600

Asus Rog Strix RX 570 

Asus Rog B450i mini itx motherboard 

16 gb (2x8) G Skill trident z rgb ram

Corsair CX450m 450w PSU

Generic WD Blue HD

If you are comfortable, maybe try to see if any of the pins are still bent or still have thermal paste on them. However, try more standard troubleshooting methods like testing with only 1 stick of ram. Usually a pulled CPU doesn't immediately equate to broken CPU as I have unfortunately done this before. Just make sure the CPU pins are CLEAN and straight, use a razor or something thin and straight to straighten the pins if needed. I'd like to ask, did you get the RX 570 new? Or used?
