I honestly think you should unplug everything and start from scratch because i have a feeling everything is getting too confusing for you. Take your time plugging everything back in if you don't know where something goes refer to your motherboard manual (that's why they give them to you) and once everything has been plugged in double check all your connections and make sure you haven't missed anything.

You'll probably find out what you did wrong the first time and kick yourself.

Alright.
I'll unplug everything -processor and it's cooler and be back with an update soon.
Thanks for the help.

Okay, the only thing that changed is...
I figured out a way to use 3 fans on one fan controller port, and the cables are neater.
Nothing else. -___-

those connectors that your hdd light power light blablabla plug into have to be around the right way otherwise they either don't work or don't function right make sure your positive and negative are round the right way. may stop the computer booting when you turn your power supply on.

They're all facing the right direction and are in the right sockets. <:

Hm, I've actually never heard of that problem..,
where you turn your PSU on, and the whole system itself start's up?
That's weird.

But as said, just unplug everything, and re-plug it all back in carefully,
making sure all the connection's are in nice a firm,
also making sure they're in the correct socket's,
best of luck with this man.

Have you let it run for like 30 seconds and then turned it off by holding in the power button? I have had a few PC's start when i turn a PSU on and thats all i really do. Then they just work like normal.

Thanks Kirby. <:
And the problem is fixed, not sure what it was, but when re-assembled, the first time I turned it on, it did the same thing where it started itself up, but after turning it off and back on it sorted itself...

It has been running since I last updated, I just wanted to see if it would keep relatively cool, and from what I can tell, it has, although it really isn't doing anything...
Although I still can't turn it off with the power button. -___-

Make sure the wire's in the PW connector that goes into your motherboard are still firmly in place,
as sometimes they tend too wriggle there way out, causing this.
Best if luck with it<3

Yeah I know, that's what I was saying. <:
Thanks for the help guys, I'm going to take it to my mate's place some time this week, he's really good with computers, so if he can diagnose the problem (I'm thinking it's the graphics card, but I'm not sure, and I'm getting a new one in a couple of weeks anyway), then I'll post back, if not I'll post back anyway to let you know I'm still having trouble lol... (:
