not sure whats going on please help..
I first had a problem where I didnt get a display I found that my RAM wasnt compatible by following this post http://forum.pcmech.com/showthread.php?t=132409 and trying another stick well I got a display and everything was fine till I attempted to assemble it in my case. then I go to power it up and fans start to kick on for abit then it kicks off.. this is my first build and has been a mess. I found this forum by trying to toubleshoot it.. here are the specs for my comp if anyone could offer advice!

Check that you don't have any extra standoffs installed under the motherboard.

The ususal reasons for what you describe are a heat problem, the heatsink/fan isn't correctly attached, or the motherboard shorting out to the case.
Extra stand-offs, as Jay says, are one reason but it could be shorting out on the I/O shield as well. Your other problem, if not now then sometime in the ( probably near ) future, is that Okia power supply. Here's a list of what power supplies to buy and what to avoid : http://forum.pcmech.com/showthread.php?t=131195
