im having trouble choosing a motherboard. which on is better? If you have suggestions i would love to hear them. This is the first time building a computer. My friend helped me pick some of these out but i want more opinions. Hes supplying me with a 200+ SSD and windows 8 so i didnt include it in here
Thanks for the advice! Are they compatible? Thanks

You are paying too much for old tech.

The CPU you linked is last generation and is $20 more than the new ones https://www.amazon.com/Intel-Skylake-Desktop-Processor-BX80662I56500/dp/B010T6CWI2/ref=sr_1_1?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1475786749&sr=1-1&keywords=i5-6500

You need an 1151 socket motherboard for it.

That's a neat case, but it's very wide, I hope you are aware of that.

By "battery" you actually mean power supply, I'd get this instead https://www.amazon.com/SeaSonic-550-Watt-CrossFire-Certified-SSR-550RM/dp/B00918MEZG/ref=sr_1_fkmr2_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1475786908&sr=8-2-fkmr2&keywords=Seasonic+S12+modular

I would not get a GTX 950 for $160, there are cheaper models...

For $160 you should just go up to $200 for the new GTX 1060 or wait till the 1050 is out.
