Ok so I went ahead and did what I would do on any other computer. I replaced the HD 6670 with my R9 280X card and nothing. Computer boots (i think) no video signal to the monitor. Any ideas what is up.

X1000 see the pic

Ok?
I am using a 6 pin with the 2 pin total of 8. Info with the card shows many options, what I have done is one. The info with the card sucks big time but that was the best I could figure. Should I use the connector below too? If I use this I am guessing that I will piug in the white connectors into the sata cables for power. The X1000 only has 2 pci-e connectors from the power supply. It also seems to me that I should remove the HD6670 from the DEV drawer but I don't know.
