Did you try both PCIe slots?
Make sure the GPU is seated properly
Does the system works with the on-board graphics?

 

[ceroneanthony240]

yes i tied both slots reseated the gpu and yeas onboard graphics work
just looked at bios i have an option called board explorer and it says the slot is empty

You're connected to the GPU itself, and not the onboard iGP on the motherboard, right?

no im connected through mobo graphics, because no signal would display when i connected through gpu

So you tried two PSUs, 2 motherboards , and two different GPUs and the issue remained.

What was the model of the other PSU?
The Thermaltake Smart RGB 500W might be able to power a GTX 1060 but I don't think it can handle the power draw from a R9 280.
That PSU is a 420W 35A (+12V) PSU, since that's the max power it can delivery constantly.
The 500W is a peak power rating, and we do not know for how long it can sustain that power delivery.

I wouldn't trust that PSU.

Try a reliable PSU with a sustainable 500-550W on the +12V rail.

yeas all of the above im not really wanting to use the r9 280 it was jus to see if my 1060 was broken, so i decided to buy a new psu and motherboard. the other psu is a 600w by corsair

Did you tried the Corsair 600W PSU or it has not arrived yet?

that was the psu in their before but i wanted to try another one i now realize it was dumb to buy a 500w instead of something more powerful

Have you try resetting the BIOS to default settings by removing the CMOS battery?

Do you have any local PC stores that allow returns?
You could get a nice PSU and try it and if it works then you know what the issue is.
