Yup, you should have it in the top-most BLUE slot as that's the 16x PCI-E slot for your motherboard :) (was going to get to that after a few questions)
Glad to hear you didn't spend your money in vein :) and I wish you good luck with your new PC!

Cheers!

Hi there,

Actually before you go out and spend money again... you might be happy to know that a whole lot of people are running your gfx card with your psu without problems, so no that's not an issue unless your psu is defect in the first place, otherwise it should run it just fine.
Have you connected both 6pin pci express power connectors to your card?
Always try some troubleshooting before you buy new stuff :) For example you could connect your display to your onboard card for the moment and see if that has any picture, if it does you at least have access to your computer and a whole bunch of utilities designed to find the problem :)
Will check back later to see how you're doing!
Cheers!

With all due respect I disagree :)
First of all there is no such thing as a '50w rail', the power supply is rated at 650w which is more than enough to run the card that requires a maximum of 150w (the r9) provided it has 2x6 pin connectors you can actually connect to it... and it actually has them so it's not that old in the first place.
The way you would calculate it is to add up the maximum power consumption of all components in the system (which for his system would be actually less than 500w) and anything above that can run it at full capacity without any problems.
Furthermore the sapphire website also mentions this under system requirements that you would need a 500w psu (they calculate this by adding the 150w required by the card itself to a pretty heavily loaded imaginary system's consumption)
http://www.sapphiretech.com/presentation/product/product_index.aspx?pid=2038&lid=1#
It also mentions that even a 600w psu is enough to run TWO of these cards in crossfire... so nooooo I seriously do not agree :)
The only requirements for the PSU would be to be compatible with your system (have the required connectors) and to put out stable power (which is why people usually go for brand names rather than no-name psu-s which come with cheap cases and yes corsair is a reliable brand in that regard) the wattage simply depends on your system consumption, and no your system won't get any better at all.. not even by a fraction if you replace a 650w psu with a 750w psu if your consumption is already below 500w :p

I really mean no offense by this buy I really disagree with advising people to spend money as a first option... that would be rather a last resort... I mean that's why people actually bother to check out this site... otherwise they could just spend money hiring a computer tech :p
Just my 2 cents

Cheers!

Ok I checked the website before i told the op to buy a new psu the gpu requires 2 12 volt rails that produce 75 watt. The reason i recommended a 750watt psu so the op could use it to upgrade later on without buying a new psu.

Yes, well I see, but if I understood correctly the OP was not looking to upgrade, in fact he is actually having a problem with his current system, and the problem was that he assembled his computer and he doesn't have any video.
Now given that we 'agreed' that the 650w psu is actually enough to run his card (you can actually find a number of other threads on this subject here on this site example 1: http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/answers/id-2093031/run-sapphire-radeon-270-2gb-corsair-650-watt-psu.html / example 2 with the 280: http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/answers/id-2188679/corsair-vs650-650-watt-psu-run-sapphire-280-3gb-intel-4th-gen-processors.html ) would you like to try and further help him by asking him if his system actually starts up or just restarts in a loop and stuff, or should I do it? :) and what does the OP say about all this (before pressing that order button on the new psu)

Cheers! :)

Uh first of the first link is a r9 270 it consumes less power than the 270x. Also remember that the toxic edition is sapphires flag ship line and takes a bit more power to run.

Ooookay so what would you say about a 550w running a 270x? ;) http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/answers/id-1886595/corsair-vs550-270x.html
Anyway... I think you should drop the power angle... it should be obvious by now... or at least I'm done trying to prove it to you :))
If the opening poster requires further assistance with his CURRENT psu :) I would be glad to TRY and work with him on solving this issue, otherwise I will be looking forward for his similar thread but with his new upgraded PSU (since he will most likely have the same problem with that as well)

Over and out ;)

Ok the thing is he said he's pushed all the wires in and I'm giving him the benefit of doubt that he's done that correctly. So if everything's been put together correctly and the monitors not showing anything the problem really only leads back to the psu....

Nope, not really... actually it could lead back to a really wide range of problems, even a faulty usb keyboard which has a short circuit can cause it... or a bad vga cable... or even a bad gpu (the fact that it looks okay doesn't mean it is...) Also everyone can make mistakes.. who's there to say that he didn't forget to push the card in all the way and the system is actually booting using the integrated GPU on the motherboard? how can you tell that none of his memories are defect? (he even mentioned that he's not sure of that in the OP). Maybe he installed the card after starting up with the integrated one and disabled pci-e in the bios by accident? and so on....

There could be a hundred other causes.. and the reason we ask questions is to narrow them down, questions such as...
'Can you tell if your computer is actually booting up or just restarting over and over?' / 'Do you have a pc speaker installed on your motherboard? if yes.. can you hear any beeps?... how many?...' / 'have you tried testing your memory by only inserting them one at a time? / and the list goes on....

Imo telling him to go buy a new power supply was actually a bad thing since the poor guy just bought his new computer.. he actually has a brand new psu which can run everything he has.. even if it's defect it still has warranty.. etc.. he could just have it replaced for free even if it turns out to be faulty... (which I doubt given that his other hardware components receive power from it)

So yea I'm not trying to be rude here :) just trying to 'teach' you a bit how to properly try to help people and we kinda ruined the OP-s thread with this, he's probably not even reading us anymore.
Anyways I'm off to sleep... wish you the best of luck!
Cheers!

called a professional ,he inserted the gpu in the second slot,instead of the first one,as the mobo comes with 2 gpu slots,i dont know much about this PCI-E thing,and BAZINGA!!!!!!!!, IT WORKED, by the way thanks guys,and xtwargodtx, i almost ordered the new psu, zenx saved me,but no harm done THANKS ANYWAY,AND I DONT THINK BEST SOLUTION IS REQUIRED
