Ok, I did a little more research, and newegg has the best price for that asus microatx mobo with wifi. $172.
Before assembling the computer, you should ground yourself to prevent static electric shock damaging the components.

I think you still need more components, such as a power supply (your case did not come with one), RAM, OS, and SATA cables (if none of the components shipped with them).
Also, do you need accessories or are you gonna just take keyboard, mouse, and monitor from your old PC?
Anywho, once you've got all of your components, you're gonna want to start by installing the motherboard in the case.
Step 1: Mount mobo in case, locate front panel wires and plug them into the motherboard where the user manuals indicate.
Step 2: Install CPU and cooler in mobo socket. (I forgot to ask if your CPU came with a cooler?) Oh, and don't forget thermal paste! You rub it on the top of the CPU before you clamp the cooler down on top. (thermal paste is not easy to clean off your skin)
Step 3: Install power supply (plug power cable(s) into mobo)
Step 4: Install SSD (plug SATA cable into SSD and mobo, plug SATA power cable into SSD from power supply).
Step 5: Install video card into PCIx slot on mobo, plug power cable from power supply into video card.
Step 6: Plug power supply into wall, and plugin accessories. Should be ready to boot for the first time.
Step 7: Install Operating system (using USB stick or external optical media drive since the case doesn't have a slot for one).
Step 8: Don't bother with the CD's that ship with each product. Those drivers are likely out of date already. Go to the manufacturer of each component's website and download the latest drivers directly from them.
Is this a good motherboard ??
Re: Is this a good motherboard ??
PS: Your GPU requires 300W. CPU requires 65W.
The beast MoBo I linked you to claims to require a 24-Pin EATX power connector & an 8-Pin EATX 12V power connector.
Definitely don't get a power supply smaller than 400W unless you wanna turn your new computer into a glass furnace. Going too big is not a problem, as it simply won't use the extra juice.
This is strange. I filtered newegg for just power supplies that have the connectors required, and only got 6 results. All of which are 3-4 times more wattage than you need. I mean, going overkill shouldn't cause any problem, but I've never had an issue finding a power supply somewhat close to the minimum required wattage before.

I've been using these forever. You dont think this unit will fit? Should be high enough wattage huh?

Re: Is this a good motherboard ??
Yes for now I'm gonna use my old keyboard and mouse I ordered the 2x 8gb vengeance lpx cards. They are DDR4. Guessing I still need SATA cables.

Re: Is this a good motherboard ??
That power supply has a 24 pin and an 8 pin connector, which means it can power the motherboard. However, the video card also requires an 8 pin connector, and that power supply only has 1 x 8 pin connector.
I believe the 8 pin socket on the motherboard powers the integrated graphics chipset, so if you are using a PCIx video card instead, I can't imagine that the integrated graphics chipset will require any power at all. You'll definitely wanna read the owner's manual on the motherboard to confirm that before powering the sucker up.
That SATA3 cable will work, but I recommend ones with a 90 degree plug on the end, as they are easier to connect/disconnect.
https://www.monoprice.com/product?p_id=8783 (the 24" cable is the same price as the 18" cable, but you should get the shorter one unless your case is fucking massive, or there's an obstacle course for the cable to contort through inside the case)

Re: Is this a good motherboard ??
OK, I was wrong about everything in my last post regarding the power supply.
The 8 pin socket on the motherboard powers the CPU and IS required.
The power supply you posted has that, AND additional cords for the GPU, and they're all very nicely labelled. (PCIe for GPU, CPU for CPU).
So you are good to go on that power supply that you posted, and if I ever build another computer, I'll probably lookup this thread and buy that PSU too.
