[FIXED]
Alright so I fixed this issue, I don't really know why it fixed it but I just decided on a whim to plug the GPU into my secondary PCI-e slot, not my primary, well it booted right up just fine. So yeah, I put it in the black slot rather than the blue one and it works, I don't know why and I probably never will. My old GPU was in the blue one, so I know it works, who knows.
tl;dr: Installed new GPU, everything seems to spin up but only getting black screen on display, no boot screen, no logo, the LCD tv does not change at all with the PC on or off.
I recently decided to upgrade my old GPU seeing as how its in dire need and I am having some serious issues with it. I will go step by step through my issue:
My old GPU is a GeForce 8400GS, it works well but its just too old for the new games
I upgraded to a PowerColor Radeon HD 7790 1GB (PowerColor AX7790 1GBD5-DH/OC Radeon HD 7790 1GB 128-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 CrossFireX Support Video Card)

had to buy a molex to 6 pin PCIe adapter because I was lacking a 6 pin PCIe.

Uninstalled the Nvidia drivers
Alright so I hooked all of my hardware up and used the the DVI to VGA adapter that came with the card to hook it up to my TV because I am lazy and didn't feel like running an HDMI cable.
The PC booted up normally, all fans spinning, all lights on, HDDs humming away, the GPU fan is spinning as well. However, I get nothing on the display, it does not react at all. I tried flipping through every mode and still nothing. Took everything apart and put it back together with the same results. Tried using an HDMI instead, same results.
The GPU is in the blue PCI-e slot, same one I run my GeForce 8400 in, I have switched back to my GeForce card and am currently typing from the computer, all is well with the system so it must be the GPU.
