well I got it to boot up but now i get 1 long beep and 2 short beeps which is a video card problem. I put all the parts besides the Gpu in my comp and it booted fine without the video card. so im assuming its probably DOA. do u guys think i should just return it?

also when you turn it on the Video card fan Revs like a car engine from slower to faster.
