I've recently built a new computer with the next components:

Motherboard: MSI Z270 Gaming Plus
CPU: Intel Core i7 7700K 4.2GHz
GPU: Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1050Ti OC WindForce 4GB GDDR5
Power Source: Tacens Mars Gaming Vulcano 750W 80+ Silver
RAM: 2x Kingston HyperX Fury DDR4 2133 PC4-17000 8GB CL14

I believe I have connected everything properly. I had experience replacing components from my old PC, but I had never built one from scratch.

The problem is that when I turn on the PC, all the fans will start spinning and LEDs will turn on, but nothing will be displayed on screen (I've tried connecting with the motherboard via VGA and with the GPU via HDMI, nothinjg worked).

EZ debug LEDs turn on and off one by one and stay all off after that. LED in the PCI x16 is on, indicating that the GPU is connected.

I still have to try to put the RAM sticks in the third from the left port, but I can't try it right now.

If it doesn't work changing where the RAM is, any clue what it could be?
 
That junk power supply? Even if it isnt the reason, id look i to replacing that no namer much sooner than later.

You say ram in 3rd port sooooooo you have one stick in?? Is it in the roggt spot for 1 stick (check manual). Id add both in anyway.
 
Push on the cpu cooler, it worked for me on my first build.
I also have some other things to recommend
- Make sure the ram is in the right spot
- Make sure you were not doing the build in a static place
- Check if there is any lose screws or anything metal in the PC
- If the following did not work than take it apart and rebuild it.
