Hey guys so today i received my msi r9 290x from newegg. these are my specs

A few hours ago i started the build got everything put together nice and neat. And powered everything at the very end. The PC turned on Inserted Win8.1 CD And Right Before It Was About to install the computer shuts down And see/smell smoke from graphics card exhaust. am i just unlucky and got a bad graphics or could it be psu? the PC turns on flawlessly without gpu. & doesnt turn on with it on... please Any advice would be apreciated.
