Did you..............
perform this assembly out of the case first?
What do you mean by "600 WATT PSU"? Be more specific on that.

Yes installed the standoffs, and 600 Watt PSU (Power Supply Unit) I forgot what brand. And no I didn't install out of the case, I'll install out of the case when I get home from work and see it that works, then connect one hardware at a time to see what's making it not boot. But yeah, all it does is turn on and shut off after like a second.
The motherboard I have has a 2x4 12V but I only have a 2x2 Connector, I've read in the manual that it's possible to just connect the 2x2 and it should work or should I just go out and buy a 2x4 cable? |

If the PC is shutting off after a few seconds, sounds like the CPU heatsink isn't fully locked down to the motherboard. If just one of the locking pin is loose, the CPU can shut down due to overheating.
The other possiblity is if the PSU is a no-name brand. Using the 2x2 should be OK.
