Upgrade/update your BIOS. See if that fixes it.

if it beeps with the case open...but does not beep when the case is closed it a bios warning that someone openeded the case. you can turn off that warning. if you opened your case and did something inside. take power off the pc. unplug it from the wall and reseat the gpu and cpu and make sure all the power cables are connected.

I opened the case in order to install my new psu and gpu ...Every cable is correct connected to my mobo....It keeps doing16 Beeps and then booting ... Also i got windows 7 home premium original and the booting animation has change... Now i can see a bar with a green thing running on it and it says Microsoft Comporation

with amd bios there is a beep code most time it 3-3-4 then it repeat. you can then go to amd web page look up beep codes.

if you put in a gpu make sure the video on the new gpu and in the bios primany dispay set to peg/pci not auto.

with that mb it uses nvidia chipset for ide/sata and video. on those older mb you cant use a amd video card. also some of the newer gpu wont work. 8800/210/500 cards should work. the newer 600 may. if the unit came from an hp or dell then the mb bios limits the gpu video ram on some there older mb to 512k in size. if older you may get those beeps.

So i must buy a new mobo and cpu?

no all you need to do is if you have a local store that you got the video card from make sure the test your system with a nvidia card if the error stops. have them replace the amd with nvidia. if it a nvidia gpu you have now have them try one of the older gpu see if it a bios bug.
