These are the recommend changes that I made. 

 

  • The AsRock ITX has no heatsinks on it's VRM so that's why I went with Gigabyte, plus you upgrade to AC wireless adapter. 
  • The PSU is 80+ Bronze and semi modular meaning that it will be better built than the PSU originally listed and may help a little with unnecessary cables. 
  • The CPU cooler I chose by no means is amazing but it'll be better than any low profile air cooler that could fit into the Cooler Master cases.

 

 
CPU:  AMD Athlon X4 750K 3.4GHz Quad-Core Processor  ($79.99 @ Amazon) 
CPU Cooler:  Cooler Master Seidon 120V 86.2 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler  ($39.99 @ Newegg) 
Motherboard:  Gigabyte GA-F2A88XN-WIFI Mini ITX FM2+ Motherboard  ($107.13 @ SuperBiiz) 
Memory:  A-Data XPG V2 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory  ($69.99 @ Newegg) 
Video Card:  XFX Radeon HD 7870 2GB Video Card  ($169.99 @ Newegg) 
Case:  Cooler Master Elite 130 Mini ITX Tower Case  ($44.99 @ Microcenter) 
Total: $599.33

Just a question will any of this two boards have problems with the Athlon 760k,like bios problems.And does the does the heatsink on the vrm matters a lot?And is the 430watts enough? Thanks for your suggestions.They are very helpful.

It does help keep overclocks more stable if the VRMs have at least some way to dissipate heat. 430 will be enough for that setup including overclocking. 

That board has no bios problems with FM2, it did have an issue requiring a FM2 CPU in order to update the BIOS to work with FM2+ but since you are using a FM2 processor there are zero issuer. 

 

The estimated wattage for this setup is 349W so that gives some headroom for additional overclocking. If you are very concerned then get the 

CX500M which is $10 more after rebate.
