Okay here is the final build I went with Newegg except for the case because I case is cheaper at microcenter so I am going to buy it locally. I decided to skip the separate heat sink and fan b/c the cpu comes with a heat sink. thanks for all your help, hopefully will be building this next weekend let me know what you guys think.
