First of all. I have already switched out the PSU and the Graphics card from this computer:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Advent-DT2111-Desktop-PC-Intel-i5-2320-8GB-RAM-2TB-HDD-/120883306065

Currently My Computer Has:
Graphics: 2GB Gigabyte Radeon HD 7850
PSU: 750W Corsair Builder Series CX CP-9020015 (Brand New)
CPU: i5-2320 (Was planning on upgrading to 3770)

The problem:
I tried to switch out my current graphics card for a "8GB MSI Radeon R9 390X"
However once i had connected it all up ensuring all the cables where connected correctly I turned it on and was met with a "No Signal" on my monitor... I tried to make sure everything was connected correctly 3 times over but to no avail.

Have i gone somewhere wrong in picking hardware? I have put my 7850 back into my computer and it works fine with the new PSU so i doubt that is the issue.

Any Help?

hello friend! ...if you have an dvi to hdmi signal converter you might be getting what people call a handshake issue where the signal does not go thru...if not you can update the firmware on your motherboard going to the manufacturers website,,also going to your bios settings screen might give you an idea of what is going on,,,,good luck!
