Usually the symptoms you're describing mean the power supply's short circuit protection is triggering and cutting power. Make extra sure you don't have any cables mis-connected, especially to header ports on the motherboard, and that the motherboard isn't shorting out on the case anywhere, and that you didn't forget the standoffs between the motherboard and case.

So it's ONLY the CPU fan that's twitching? And you're sure you have it plugged into the correct header, without any low noise adapters or anything?

That would point to a motherboard issue to me.

Even good motherboards can die, but stepping up to an Asus or even MSI board drastically ups your chances of having a good experience compared to the lower-end brands like ASrock, or god-forbid Gigabyte.

Gigabyte isn't a really low-end brand but their products are extremely poor quality, worse than you get from the actual low-end brands. For example, Gigabyte boards provide fake voltage readings for the CPU that are within the normal range, in order to hide the fact that they cheaped out on the power delivery components responsible for stable voltage to the CPU. In general terms they cut every corner that doesn't affect the spec sheet on the side of the box. ASrock is pretty good for a low-end brand, but the experience still isn't comparable to a good motherboard from Asus or even MSI, which both work better and feel faster in normal usage due to reduced DPC latency (see bottom chart).
