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:

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.

sadly no. if the board has an 8pin and the psu doesn't then i dont think it works. HQ psu's usually have both though. 4 pin cpu connectors seem to be more common though.
