Heres the specs:

When buying used, always go with the too good to be true mentality. The 7850 is
a power hungry beast, particularly considering newer cards do far more with much
less power. See my post above for what to look for if all you need is a display
output.

Now, if you want to be able to game on the system or do 3d/2d work on it then you
will want to look at something newer and more powerful. Something like a Radeon
RX 570 4gb would be ideal and can be picked up for not much, even new. Otherwise
just pick up a new Geforce 210/610/710 or Radeon R5 240/RX 550 etc. Being new will
rule out display issues and the price isn't much higher than used.

For what you are looking at using the system for that will do the trick nicely.

In the most professional way possible, you are a beautiful individual! Plugged in the new card yesterday and was able to get video! Really appreciate all the help getting me this far! You are AWESOME!!!!

Summary:
Breathing red light on MB and no signs of life to include Dr Debug codes.
Answer: Check that the correct power connections are going to the correct plugs on the board. Just because the plug fits, doesn't mean the pin configuration is correct. PCIE plugs will not power your MB. Reseating the CPU was not an issue, but it was a learning experience. Be gentle, watch youtube video on it, don't hulk out on the screws when tightening down.

No Video: Cheap recycled business workstation video cards are GARBAGE. Just because its PCIx1234 and matches the MB, doesn't mean it will play nice.
