Need advice for a build
Case in consideration: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811156252
Mobo: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813130647
Processor: Need a suggestion here, in the 100-140 dollar price range.
My questions mainly are is that an ok case and will it have enough space for the USB slots on that MOBO, also looking for suggestions on a processor, I know that price range generally means an i3 and that will most likely bottleneck the 760, but its all I can work with right now.
Also sorry in advance, my first post, unsure how to add the correct tag to this.

Do you need an Intel CPU for some reason? At that budget generally the recommended route is to go for an AMD FX-6300. Doesn't work with that motherboard obviously.
You are getting way too powerful of a power supply.
I know nothing about that case, not sure what you mean by
The mobo has more than enough spots to hook up the front panel USBs if that's what you are asking.
I recommend using pcpartpicker.com . It will find you the best prices for products
I mean I've never used amd before, this will be my first build so if you have suggestions I would definitely like them, if you have time. Also the main reason I chose intel is because I practiced removing and re installing it, I didn't want to try installing a brand new processor my first go around.
I always have time, at least at work.
There's really no difference between installing an AMD processor and an Intel one.

If you want a smaller or cheaper mobo we can do that too
This seems fine, and the gtx 760 is compatible with an amd processor?
And no I meant space for usb slots as in, when I the motherboard goes into the case, and the ports are pointing out the rear end of the case, would it have room for them? Because my current case's shield isn't modular or remove able
I found this case also: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811129042
All the cases I'm finding don't have much room in the rear for USBs, the shield on my current case is one I can't remove or change out.
Yes, there's really no such thing as a graphics card not being compatible with the CPU.
Have you looked at the AMD graphics cards at all? They are better bang for your buck right now
