System specs? Maybe a little background info on how you got to this point?
I don't think anybody here can read minds or interpret mystical data. Heh.

I just installed these 3 parts and had so much trouble with the pc not turning on. I finally got it to and then after the BIOS screen it takes me to the picture and then just blue screens.

Does it have problems if you just go into the BIOS instead? If not, try updating the BIOS to the most recent version first.

Are you using the integrated graphics or an aftermarket card? Model? PSU brand and model?
Sounds to me like a lack of voltage to the GPU, a bad GPU or a failing monitor.
It could be something else as well both those are the things I'd start with.

Ok, so what do you mean by the PSU works if you've got a system that freezes, blue screens or resets? All of those can be due to an incorrectly powered GPU, RAM, CPU, etc.
Have you tried using the old GPU to see if you still have the problem or was the old GPU dead?

The blue screens which occur while trying to boot into windows are generally the result of either a driver issue or a power supply issue. In rare cases it could be the motherboard which is at fault.
However, since you also have displayed issues prior to attempting to boot into windows, with an entirely different GPU it's still remains a high probability there is an issue with the power supply to the GPU which could be the PSU (Most likely) or motherboard (Least likely).
Are you now able to get into the BIOS without it turning black? If so, I'd highly recommend updating the BIOS. If there is an incompatibility issue with any of your hardware because the motherboard has older firmware installed, we'll never figure this out.
I want to revisit something you said earlier. You said you had trouble with the unit turning on. Do you mean to say that it didn't want to even power up at all? No fans, no nothing? And then it finally did begin to power up but that's when all the trouble with the blue screens and screen distortion began?

I ave gotten to where i can install windows again but the problem now is that it says "Windows can not be installed on this disk. The selected disc has an MB partition Table. On EFI systems, Window can only be installed to GPT disks.

I have windows Vista on the Hard drive and am trying to put in the disc to reinstall it and its saying that. But i want to be able to install windows 8 but when i go to the boot menu it will only recognize the disk drive when the windows vista disk is in.

For installing Windows 8, the partition type should make no difference on whether the drive is detected or not. As for installing, yes, it needs to be the correct partition type. At this point we should assume you are going to lose any data currently on the drive. Hopefully you have it backed up and this will not be an issue.
There are two things you can do here, possibly needing to do both.
First, try the windows 8 installation again, using the method at the following link. You will need to choose the "custom" method and when you get to the screen where it asks where to install windows, you will need to delete all the existing partitions on the drive and THEN click install which will allow windows to create the type of partition needed according to the settings in your bios.

The other option, or aspect of your issue, may be that in the BIOS you generally have the option of UEFI (AHCI) or Legacy (Compatibility support module) modes. If the above method doesn't work, you may need to change the setting from one to the other there and try again.

Ok, I don't think I can help you because what you're saying doesn't make sense and is entirely contradictory to its own self. Boot partitions have nothing whatsoever to do with disks that are in the optical drive (CD, DVD). It would only ever be an issue once you got to the part where installing to a particular location was required and if you didn't choose the custom method it might not want to install on a drive with a different partition type than what's indicated by the bios settings or the drive itself.
Chances are good, if the Vista disk is recognized, and the windows 7 or 8 disks are not, that they are either damaged or pirated.

Okay. I cant get into the BIOS because i don't have the right hard drive format. I cant install windows because i dont have the right hard drive format and for me to get the hard drive to the right format i have to get into the BIOS but i cant.
Also, I can put in a real store bought disc of windows vista in and it will recognize it. But if i put in a .iso it will not for some reason. any solution you can think of?

The hard drive format has nothing to do with getting into the bios. You can disconnect the hard drive from the computer and still power up and go into the BIOS, there just won't be any hard drive, and thus no operating system, to boot from. I don't think you're in full understanding of what the BIOS is, but that's ok.
If you downloaded digital river content, you would have to have a valid key in order to install, which would mean you would have had to have purchased one of those versions or that your computer came with one of those versions, but then had it removed. You can't just use one of those without a license key.
Aside from that though, that wouldn't cause the disk to not be recognized so either you've burned your ISO to a disc type that your optical drive doesn't support, or burned the ISO incorrectly, not making it bootable.
