Did my GPU come DOA?

I initially tried to do the above build with an ASRock N68C-GS FX. I got no display with either TV HDMI or VGA (tried VGA directly to motherboard and VGA to GPU w/ the converter and both didn't work) so I assumed my motherboard was dead. I brought it back in for a refund and got the ASUS motherboard listed above instead. After flashing the BIOS with a USB (still not getting display) to the version that is compatible with my FX-6300, I tried booting my TV again through an HDMI connected to the GPU and still nothing. My opinion is that my GPU came to me faulty, but this is my first build and I'm completely not tech savvy at all so I come here in hopes that you'll either confirm my suspicions or point me towards a different component that could be the problem.

Conect the mobo speaker (this http://img.bhs4.com/8d/2/8d2064aaa80504b2674052686523f157d1eed2bd_large.jpg ) and listen to the beep code with and without the gpu plugged in ( if there is no beep in any case the mobo mobo most likely is shorted out or bend in some way (or defektive), you have plugged in the speaker wrong or there is no power.

Is the pc already installed in the case?, if so try removing the mobo and place it on the mobo cardboard and remove any non critical components, make sure everything is connected firmly, you can start the pc by connecting the top of the 2 pins for the power button with a screwdriver or something else made of metal.
