If you want to stay with the micro boards. Look at the GA-Z170 / GA-H170 micro boards. Plus make sure you are look at the DDR4 boards to. At this time DDR4 memory is cheaper than DDR3 memory.

Then go with one of the i5 CPU's. i5-6500 / i5-6600. Then on memory stay with 2133 memory. Going with faster memory really isn't going be any faster then the 2133.

Plus with that PSU you should be fine with it. As long as you don't use a high end video card.
