Hey so I am building my own PC for the first time. I have previously bought a pc from best buy around two years ago, terrible I know, and upgraded it with some parts so I have some experience and knowledge around the subject. I currently have; a Nvidia 750ti, a 600 watt power supply, an AMD Quad-Core A10-6700 processor, and 4 GB of corsair vengeance RAM, and a 1 TB hard drive; that I plan to take out of the old PC and use for the new one. I also have a patriot PYRO 120GB SSD just sitting around that I never actually bought the correct mounting brackets for somehow. I already have a nice keyboard and mouse both using USB, a USB mic, and two monitors, one connected with DVI and one with HDMI. I plan on buying 

  • Corsair Carbide Series SPEC-02 Mid Tower Gaming Case (CC-9011051-WW)  for $60 on amazon

  • Crucial Ballistix Sport 8GB Kit (4GBx2) DDR3 1600 (PC3-12800) 240-Pin UDIMM Memory BLS2KIT4G3D1609DS1S00/BLS2CP4G3D1609DS1S00 for $38 on amazon

  • TP-LINK TL-WDN4800 Dual Band Wireless N900 PCI Express Adapter,2.4GHz 450Mbps/5Ghz 450Mbps, Include Low-profile Bracket, Support Windows XP/Vista/7/8/8.1/10 for $37 on amazon

  • Either an  ASUS ATX DDR3 2600 LGA 1150 Motherboards Z97-A/USB 3.1 for $140 amazon or an Asus - M5A99FX PRO R2.0 ATX Motherboard 2133MHz (Socket AM3+/AM3) - Multi  for $145 from best buy (I might be stuck with a $180 gift card to best buy depending on whether or not I can find my receipt from these really uncomfortable headphones I bought last week so if there is a better motherboard from best buy let me know)

The computer I already have is an Asus M11BB-B07 Desktop A10 X4 3.7GHz 8GB 1TB DVDRW WiFi. I'd just like you guys' inputs on whether these are good choices, make sure they are compatible, if there is anything else I can scrap from my old PC, or anything else you can think of.

-Thanks in advance, Aiden

Well for starters if you're reusing the processor you can't use this board 

ASUS ATX DDR3 2600 LGA 1150 Motherboards Z97-A

So is there a motherboard you would suggest, or could I do something like reusing the board that came with the PC? or is that just me being cheap lol
