Once plugged in and powered on, the power light flashes on for like a second, but then goes away. Is something wrong?

Yes, your computer won't power on.

Try a different PSU if you have one laying around

Is that your mother board? If not post a picture of it with all the shit plugged in

Sounds like a pretty common issue with power supplies.

Open it up, and if when you click on the power button, you can see the CPU fan moving just a bit, then it's most likely this issue, which happens when the electricity is unstable and blows shit up inside of the PSU.

Plug it in and give it an hour or two, and then it should power up. Though of course, that's a temporary and unacceptable solution - the only one would be to get a new power source.

OP Check that there aren't any bizarre sockets on your MOBO that you could swear you put a cable in?

All those power adapters seem really sketchy, never use adapters for any vital fans or components. Are all fans spinning when you power the computer on?

Disconnect these for starters because it looks fishy, also make a better photo. Put something under your phone so it doesn't shake or use some other light source
>>
It should have come with a shitty speaker you plug into the motherboard
Plug that into the correct place, hit the power button, and see if it beeps
Google the beep numbers and timing
If it doesn't beep, you should make like the computer and fry yourself
