yup,1 long beep and 2 short beeps are for Video Card Error.
So check the VGA for proper installation,try removing and reinserting the video card.
If it didn't help then i think its your motherboard's problem.

Did all that, tried with integrated also.

Should I try a vga connector instead of HDMI?

I gotta refind all the parts that came with the board if nothing works :( . If it doesn't work with integrated then I can be sure its not my GPU's fault right?

Try VGA connector too.
If it doesn't work with the integrated then its 99% a faulty motherboard(1% goes to that maybe both Onboard card and your 5850 were faulty)

Alright I guess I'll go find a vga wire.

Another thing though, if I bent some of the cpu pins but then straightened them out (it fits perfectly now) could it relate to that and not the video cards?

Wow, I just read through the manual and found the beep code section. Turns out my problem means unidentifiable memory... I could've sworn that my mem is compatible. I'll go 2 microcenter and buy some more RAM and another cpu (just in case).

I don't think that's true,because 1 long beep and then 2 short beeps reports an error for either VGA(most likely) or Motherboard.
So instead of buying RAM and CPU which aren't needed,test it with another motherboard

Well thats what the manual for this says. I guess ASUS has different beep codes. I can return these if they don't work so thats why I'm testing RAM + CPU.

while I'm at it I guess I can buy another mobo...maybe switch it with the faulty one and save myself a RMA :p 

Meh didn't work. I borrowed a friends CPU mobo and RAM that matched mine since Microcenter won't let you return without a 15% restock for RAM and the CPU and Mobo aren't returnable.

In the end I said screw it and spent 600 on a i7 930, ASUS P6T, and a triple channel kit... That worked >.> Installing windows as I speak. Money does solve problems xD...

edit: It seems all current gen ASUS boards share the 1 long 2 short beep for Memory Error. It was the same for my P6T.

Yep, I tried doing everything with that boad, MemOk, 3 compatible dual kits tried also.

I'm gonna just return this board and stick with my i7, thanks for the assistance though :D
