The main focus on my upgrade was to get a better case, so I can better manage my wires, because right now they are a mess (it was a built PC i bought from the store). The link above shows what I was going to go with to upgrade
.
I have a 700W power supply (not sure the brand, its the one that came with the PC). I recently replaced my video card with a GeForce GTX760. The ram my PC came with was 16GB, but I'm not sure of the brand, I wanted to update that with a name brand RAM but keep the 16GB.

What do you guys think of my selections? Will the 700W power supply be good enough? Also I wasn't sure of the motherboard to get, is the one I selected a good choice?

The minimum recommended PSU for the GTX 760 is 500 watts. So your 700W power supply should be o.k.. The Asus Maximus VI Hero Z87 is a great motherboard and now with the release of the Z97 mobos you may be able to find better deals on Z87 boards. A word of caution though you should avoid mixing RAM from different manufacturers. Good Luck
