Just bought a new Antec P160 case and moved my componets into it. The
system will not boot. As soon as I connect power cord, the system fans
spin up and the cpu fan spins up even before I touch the power button.

I would guess you either have a short somewhere under the mobo, from one of
the standoffs (take the board out and check) or you have the case leads
plugged in to the mobo wrong.

Dunno if this helps, but the following seems similar to your problem:
