Which card are u thinking about going with?..Bought a new power supply, still doesn't turn on?
Plugged the old one in and it worked. Plugged it back up fully loaded don't work. i don't know if it's my power or my pc components.
Edit:
It's my video card!!
Plugged in the PCI-E connectors to the video card and when I hit the power button no dice. Take it out and press power no dice but if I unplug or turn off the PSU and then plug it back in the PC turns on as long as the video card isn't connected with the PCI-E connectors. Tried it several times to confirm and that is what causes the PC to not turn on. I reseated everything to make sure it wasn't a short with any other component.
I had a spare Radeon pci-e card laying around and when I plugged that in the PC booted up normally.
Luckily I have an in store warranty on this card so I can return it and swap for something else.
Well I bought the 7870 April of last year for $234.99 at Microcenter. If I return it, I can pay the difference for something better. I bought a power supply for $50 but since that wasn't the issue I was going to return it so I can basically spend $300 for a replacement. I'd rather come back with something better than to get a 7870 equivalent(R9 270).
I was looking at either a 3GB R9 280X for $289.99 or a 2GB GTX 760

I don't think the extra VRAM will be worth it right now since I play in 1080P for most games.
Edit: I think I might fukk with the 3GB 280X for $289. For a few bucks more it's faster than the 760 and the extra vram may come in handy for downsampling.
I really was only looking at the Nvidia card for the special features Nvidia has but Radeon Pro seems to fulfill my needs.

when you said the usb fell through the back of your PC the fist thing i thought was "it would land on his GPU if he has one".
the GPU hangs over the PSU on my PC.
hope it all works out for you man.

Go with the 280x..if u was debating to go with a gtx770 it would be a harder decision but the 280x would be the better choice over the gtx760...Well I bought the 7870 April of last year for $234.99 at Microcenter.

I never even thought of it this way.
Pos fukking rep.
Hopefully Micropiffcenter allows the price match. If not I'll just ask for a refund of my product and keep it moving. Only problem is my
Fx 4100 will bottleneck this but fukk it I can always upgrade to a 8320 or 50 later.

That street fighter 4 arcade on PC 
when all the settings are turned up. Its sad the PS3 wasnt even capable to that kind of output. They really should have released this game on ps4, where it was meant to be. The colors just shine on this shyt.

R9 280x or a gtx 760 would be good
edit:
did you install the driver that came with the card or did you get the most recent driver from online?
