What "cord" are you referring to when you say PCIe cord? The 6-pin power cable or the cable to the monitor?
And is this a pre-built or did you assemble it?

It was a pre-built at first then I started upgrading the parts of the computer and the PCIe cable is the 6-pin power cable that goes to the graphics card.

1) Did it do this before you upgraded?
2) What did you upgrade?
3) If not, at what upgrade point did the problem arise?
4) Make and model of the 500W PSU?

1) No it didn't because I had an old graphics card that didn't even use the PCI-e cord (6-pin)
2) I upgraded my
Ram
MotherBoard
PowerSupply
Graphics Card
Processor
3)This problem happened yesterday and the last part I upgraded before this happened was my graphics card which is now a gtx 1060. Also I've had this graphics card Delivered May 20, 2017
4) My power supply is a the company EVGA and here is a link http://

I presume the system works fine with the old card? Have you tried the integrated GPU as well? If the system works with the other gfx solutions, it appears to be a bad card. There is one other test you can do if you feel it's worth it...

Breadboard testing.
Remove the board from the case and set it on an insulated surface. Connect just CPU/cooler, memory, monitor to iGPU, PSU, and KB. Momentarily short the two pins that the power button would connect to for starting. See if you get a display and can enter BIOS.
If so, then try the GTX 1060 with its 6-pin connected instead of using the iGPU. Be sure the card is fully seated and the 6-pin is firmly inserted so that the clip locks.

I have decided I'm going to send an RMA because I have tested my graphics card in a friend's PC and it did the same thing and his PC is working just fine thank you for all the help !!

Always good to have another machine available for verification. That was going to be my final suggestion.
