All my fans do start running but no beeps. If the PSU was the problem wouldn't the fans NOT run?
Sockster, I did not install the standoffs, the newegg tutorial I followed recommended to start with an eternal build before everything in the case and it is my understanding that the standoffs are used to attach the mobo to the case, correct?

Yes the standoffs are used to attach the motherboard to the case. So you are still doing the external build...good thinking!
The PSU might be the problem. One of my friend's had a build that wouldn't power the system, just the fans, and when we tried one of my back up PSU the system was able to post. However, before you want to assume that it is the PSU try the testing one ram stick at a time on each different slot and see if you are able to post.

absolutely not.
many times a PSU is too weak or faulty just to the point of not providing the CPU with the power needed to boot. in these cases, the fans will run and everything appears fine.
people usually think its a problem with their monitor in that type of situation.
