Can't boot installing Gigabyte GTX 660

I  got a new Gigabyte GTX 660 graphic card.
When I install it in the motherboard it doesn't boot, all I get is an error from POST (long beep, 2 short beeps) I know is a graphical issue, but does anyone know more information about this?
My Motherboard is also a Gigabyte Z77-D3H
SHould I change the graphic card or could be an issue with my system or that I don't have any cable installed at this moment?

Did you connect the PCIE power cord?  Some cards require two as I recall.
