Thanks for the help so far! And #8 thank you, I had no idea about /r/softwareswap... That will save me a lot of money!

I removed an optical drive, since I actually have one now that I think about it.
And I am mostly stuck right now on a motherboard. I have no knowledge of what I should get/what I need. I will continue to do my own research, but if someone could point me in the direction of a good motherboard for the price then that would be greatly appreciated!
