Description of problem

I am currently getting no POST/Beep Codes when booting up the PC. Just built this fresh.. most of it is second hand since it is a budget build and all I can really afford until I get a new job in March~. I know I have everything wired correctly (work in IT and had my boss double check everything on Friday for me). But we are at a crossroads as to what could be causing the issue. GPU was his from a previous build that used an Intel CPU. Could it be drivers that are affecting this? And if so, how can I download the appropriate drivers to fix this issue. CPU and RAM come from r/hardware swap. RAM is good - tested 2 hours ago on a spare PC we have at work. Have no way to test the CPU to see if it is the culprit though. PSU shouldn't be an issue since it's max output is 580 W.

When this issue began

Since I built the computer on 2018/01/25

Recurring issue

Yes

Date of purchase

N/A

Under Warranty

Yes

Cause/Steps to recreate the issue

Turn on the PC?

What I've tried so far to resolve the issue

Rebuilt the ENTIRE computer 3 times now. Fresh thermal paste each time. Tested with different spare RAM at work, as well as tested the RAM in another system. Attempted to boot with headphones to see if I'd get beep codes that way - no dice. Took out CPU and booted with everything else to see if I'd get beep codes - no dice. Repeated the above with the RAM and GPU as well - no dice.Attempted to reset CMOS by taking out battery for 3~ minutes and reseat it - no dice. Tested battery with Multimeter.. reads 3.03V - good battery. As far as warranty goes I do not think that the GPU, CPU, or RAM are under warranty since I've gotten/bought them second-hand.At an honest crossroads as to what to do now. Any advice is helpful at this point.
