pretty sure most (recently made) PSU's are compatible with almost all Mobo's. I could be wrong.
What about a graphics card? Your GFXc is going to influence ur choice of PSU quite a bit.

Might wanna switch out mobo for this one:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813130290
It's $15 cheaper and ATX (vs. Micro ATX). I personally think ATX is much easier to work with. Plus, you've got a mid tower, meaning there'll be plenty of room.

Elpacco I would take that one, but currently I'm not getting a GFX card, so wouldn't I need an onboard chipset to at least use the computer?

That is true. If you need to temporarily use the computer w/out a video card, you will need an motherboard w/ onboard.
