Make sure all the necessary connections are in. Plug in monitor to the motherboard. Only one stick of RAM inserted.
Generally it'll either turn on or not. At this point, it's usually the motherboard or RAM from experience. CPUs rarely ever arrive DOA and most defective PSUs either DOA or fail at load.
You can troubleshoot the RAM by using different slots with each stick one at a time and the CPU in a secondary system. PSU is probably fine from the sounds of it, but you can go ahead and test it with your secondary setup to be safe.

Yeah, I only have the "necessary" parts plugged in currently to boot up a computer. GPU, PSU, MOBO and RAM. I'll try testing ram one by one. If one ram fails, all other ram doesn't work either?
