Have you tried stripping the setup down to nothing more than the mobo, processor, one stick of RAM, and the video card?

[zanzar]

Yes i tried that config and it still doesnt work
when i turn it on it does the beep code it will shutdown
im thinking that i have to replace the mobo

[goldeagle2005]

Try replacing the RAM sticks first. Since the mobo is beeping, I'd try swapping the RAM modules with known working modules.

[WTF]

Maybe you plug in your monitor in wrong socket or BIOS set wrong. Because you have extra graphic card.

I doubt that's the issue. 3 beeps signifies a problem with the memory subsystem.
