Custom controller and standard controller cannot both be defined on the apex:page component, so you'll have to set up your custom controller as an extension controller.

 

Luckily there's not too much to do.

 

Page:

 

 

<apex:page standardController="Account" extensions="MyCustomController">

 

 

While the controller needs an additional constructor:

 

 

public class MyCustomController
{
   ApexPages.StandardController stdCtrl;

   public MyCustomController(ApexPages.StandardController std)
   {
      stdCtrl=std;
   }
}

Read the section of the VF reference called "Custom Controllers and Controller Extensions". Controller Extensions is what you're looking for.
