When you plug in the AT plugs to the motherboard you always make sure the black wires of each plug are together it's the black to black rule. I hope that helps and good luck with your project

I'd make sure that your Bios battery is good and not dead. If the battery is bad then every time you restart your machine it loses the settings.

That sucks about the switch. Is there any references or youtube videos on configuring it? That's some nice hardware you got coming should make for a nice system that should have a good length of usable life.

The voltage readings should be taken with an actually voltage meter the chips on the motherboards are generally very inaccurate. And that power supply should be fine with that build with four 18 amp 12 volt rails just make sure you spread the 12 volt loads over them.
