Look to build a programming/gaming PC
Approximate Purchase Date: this week (the closer the better)
Budget Range: (ALREADY HAVE SAMSUNG 850 EVO 500GB), Would like to spend around $700 or $800 for CPU, MB, RAM, SSD, GPU, PSU, DVD drive, CASE, MONITOR and a CHAIR.
System Usage from Most to Least Important: programming/gaming (being about to run 2 or 3 VMs and having multiple pdfs, browsers, cmd prompts ope. Also being able to game full screen on 1920x1080 on 1 monitor and multitasking on the other)
Are you buying a monitor: Yes (Asus VG248QE 144Hz 24.0" Monitor) ~ 250.00 on amazon
Do you need to buy OS: No? I was thinking about taking the Windows 8.1/10 from my laptop and putting it into this PC and putting Xubuntu on my laptop? Is this possible?
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: Amazon, Newegg, etc
Location: South Dakota (no tax on Amazon but not sure about the rest)
Parts Preferences: going with Intel processor and as long as parts are good quality for the rest of the parts
Overclocking: No
SLI or Crossfire: No
Your Monitor Resolution: Currently have a BenQ 27'' 1920x1080 and want the ASUS 248QE for the dual monitor and FPS gaming with the 144hz (CS:GO)
Additional Comments: Case doesnt need much bling. Looking for something to easily manage cables since I am a noob and this is temporary/going to my little brothers in the future)
And Most Importantly, Why Are You Upgrading: Need a temporary PC (for a couple months) to do some programming and gaming on the side
Mostly need help with choosing the right Motherboard, Case and Power Supply.
This is a partial build of what I've come up with so far. Any help/advice would be much appreciated.

Also any advice on a comfortable chair would be awesome! (would love the armrests to be adjustable)
