First of all,

You have to change that RAM, as it's DDR3 and for Kaby Lakes CPUs you need DDR4. Also try to increase the total memory to 16GB, like 2x8GB, it would be best.

If you can't, go with something like this:
https://www.amazon.com/Kingston-Technology-HyperX-PC4-19200-HX424C15FB/dp/B00TY6A1P0/ref=sr_1_1?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1488467077&sr=1-1&keywords=ddr4%2B16gb&refinements=p_36%3A1253504011&th=1

For your power supply,
I'd change it for this one
https://www.amazon.com/Seasonic-S12II-520-BRONZE-SS-520GB/dp/B00390P1NO/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1488467470&sr=8-1&keywords=seasonic+s12+520w
This one is cheaper and better. ( Wattage don't mean it's good )

In addition to those changes, ONLY the last motherboard choice is...

In addition to those changes, ONLY the last motherboard choice is compatible with your CPU, all the others are not and won't work.
With that said, the B250 mobo is a great choice for budgety motherboards, it will be more than enough for you and will surely work.

Not possible, sorry.
If it was DDR3L then maybe we could still use it.

If you really wanna keep your RAM you will have to get yourself a older CPU & Motherboard.

Go with a i5 4690 and a ASRock H97 Pro4 Motherboard
https://www.amazon.com/Intel-i5-4690-Processor-Cache-BX80646I54690/dp/B00JST2QEW

Also, although you can put two GPUs together, they won't work at the same time to process a game, for example.
You will have to choose which will do each task.
So, while you can play with one, you could use the other to do other tasks. But not both at the same time for the same thing.

To be able to use both at the same time, you first need two equal cards and a motherboard capable of doing SLI or CrossFire
