So I built my PC, Here are the Parts List
AMD FX 8320
AMD 7870
8Gigs Ram
Gigabyte UD3P 970
Corsair CX500M
1TB HDD
CD Drive
Thermaltake Snow Edition Case.
Now Heres the problem, computer wont boot with GPU in, if i take it out computer turns on and i get post beep. But when I plug in gpu, nothing. I thought 500 watts would be enough for the build but am I not getting enough power with gpu installed? I bought this at microcenter so im thinking of just returning everything and starting again with different mobo, i really dislike the way gigabyte mobos have terrible placement. Also im going to swap the 7870 for a gtx 660. With a 600watt supply this time. But Regardless any ideas on why the build didnt work?
