@red2481,
There's a problem with upgrading the motherboard. The OS that comes with the PC is a OEM version, meaning it's tied to the motherboard. You would have also buy another Windows Key for the new motherboard. Why are you wanting to upgrade the motherboard?
Also, for what reason are you looking for an aftermarket cooler? The i5-6400 can't be overclocked which is typically the reason people buy aftermarket coolers.
1. I dont mind getting windows because my university gives it for free.
2. I want to upgrade so I can get more support for my computer. HP can only provide so much info. I also want to get bluetooth and wifi. I accidentally broke what it came with. One of the pci slots can be used for that. The other for the usb 3.0 header ( one on mobo does not have that much power).

Oh. Ok. And I missed the part where you already purchased a new case. The Corsair Spec 3 has 2x USB 3.0 ports. The Asus H110M-A has 6 USB ports on the back (2x USB 3.0 and 4x USB 2.0). Using the USB 3.0 header connection for the case, you'll have 8 USB slots in total.
