The first thing I would do is tear down the system and rebuild it. This fixes no post, half of the time. Especially if this is your first build. 

I also recommend just having the bare minimum plugged in on first start up. Mobo, PSU, CPU, 1 RAM, and 1 HDD/SSD. Make sure it posts, and start adding components from there.

I agree with this 100%.

The less stuff plugged in the better.

 

Any chance the BIOS is older than version F1?

It looks like a bios update is required for the Raven Ridge APUs

 

Edit - Bios F10, not F1

No that isn't how it works, at least not with that motherboard.

In order to update BIOS without a CPU installed (which is what you have if the CPU isn't supported) you need to have a bios flashing feature like BIOS FLASHBACK from ASUS

Without that you are stuck unless you can borrow a supported CPU from someone.
