just got all the parts for my new pc delivered and built it but its not doing anything the fans spin but nothing on the screen 

 

i think the board might need a bios update but how would i do this if it doesnt even show anything on the screen ? 

or if that cant be done could anyone suggest a motherboard that would work out the box ?

You need a GPU for video to be displayed because with the exception of the APUs, Ryzen doesn't have integrated graphics.

The more I learn, the more I realise I don't actually know anything. 

 

Recommendations: Lian Li 205m (sleek, pretty decent airflow for a non-mesh front panel and cheap), i5-10400f (Ryzen 5 3600 performance, 20% cheaper), Arctic P14 PWM fans, Logitech g305.

Are there any debug leds on the motherboard that either light up with an error code or that says "RAM", "CPU" etc? If so, which one? Make sure you have correctly seated the RAM modules and in their correct slots which is usually #2 and #4

Which PSU do you have? Yes try moving it into the second slot and see what happens. It shouldn't be a problem having it in the first slot but you can always try. When I got my motherboard it was broken and the RAM only worked if I put it in the first slot, the others were dead so I had to RMA it and get a new one.

 

Have you made sure to plug in the CPU connector at the top left of the motherboard?

I did find this on the PCPartPicker link you attached in your post. Do you have access to another CPU?
