Suggestions?

[LightCode Gaming]

So I'm planning on switching over to an intel CPU and motherboard so that I can use my 20-pin PSU (my current is a 14-pin; yay lenovo. NOT)

I just want some suggestions.

I'll be using it for general use and video game recording; 1080p30fps. Might try to bump it to 60fps at some point.


CURRENT SPECS:
cpu - AMD A-8 7600K Quad Core (OC to 3.8GHz)
motherboard - Lenovo Bantry (Chipset K15 IMC)
ram - 12 GB (3 x 4gb) Micron Tech (800MHz)
gpu - GTX 960
storage - 1TB ssd


 

I have a total of 6 USB sockets needed for sure. 

HOPING to keep it under $400. 

This is my current case size: http://www5.pcmag.com/media/images/375776-lenovo-erazer-x315-interior.jpg?width=630
NOTE: Mine has a DIFFERENT graphics card. I'm only showing this picture because I am not sure of my motherboards size (I think it's either ATX or ATX mini)

Ok now how much do you think I could sell the old parts for (if at all)?

Also, would the fan I currently have for the CPU work on the new one?

 

 

EDIT: Durp. Stupid me; comes with a fan.
