SPECS:
-Q6600 (normally overclocked but flashed bios) 2.4ghz [CPU]
-asus p5n-e sli [MOBO]
-4x 2GB [ram]
-HIPER Type M 880W [PSU]
-GTX 650 [OLD GPU]
-R9 270X [NEW GPU]

When i install the new R9 270X with tested 6pin connectors (tested with old GTX 650) i get the beep code (one long - three short) relating to GPU, i re-seat the 270X and re-seat the ram and still experience this issue.

Check for a newer BIOS for your motherboard. Try in another PCIe slot on the motherboard. Could be the power supply also, that brand is not very good http://www.jonnyguru.com/modules.php?name=NDReviews&file=print&reid=85 May not be the issue, but if you have a card that works in another system fine, not in yours, it's either your motherboard or your power supply as pretty much the only things that can cause issues.
