first time ever looking into building a gaming PC. Spent about 5 hours today researching and watching a myriad of how-to YouTube videos. Got some free time this month so I'm gonna get back into gaming

currently, this is what i have picked out:

CPU: AMD A10-7850K 3.7GHz Quad-Core Processor
Motherboard: Asus AM3 Plus AMD760G Micro ATX AMD Motherboard M5A78L-M LX PLUS
Memory: G.Skill 4GB (2 x 2GB) DDR3-1600 Memory
Storage: Silicon Power S60 120GB 2.5" Solid State Drive
Case: NZXT Source 210 (Black) ATX Mid Tower Case
Power Supply: Antec EarthWatts Green 380W 80+ Bronze Certified ATX Power Supply
Optical Drive: Asus DRW-24B1ST/BLK/B/AS DVD/CD Writer

so apparently my motherboard isn't compatible with my cpu, or apu in this case.
say that i keep everything as is; would the motherboard be the only component i must change? is everything else compatible?
budget's $500 to $600

big noob here. Any help/tips/insight would be much obliged
Intel i3-4150
ASRock H97M Pro4
ADATA XPG V2.0 8GB DDR3-1600
Kingston HyperX Fury 120GB
Cooler Master N200
Fractal Integra R2 650W
ASUS DRW-24F1ST

SUBTOTAL: 488.91
TAXES: 58.67
MIR: -25.00
TOTAL: 525.58

Pricing is all taken from NCIX.

Then hop on Craigslist and find any of the following used video cards for around $80-100
* R9 270X
* R9 270
* HD 7870
* HD 7850
* GTX 660TI
* GTX 660
