I have a nice, old case: Corsair CC-9011023-WWCORSAIR Carbide 200R Compact ATX Case
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009GXZ8MM
Right now it has an old ASRock 870iCafe motherboard with a Sempron CPU:

It's probably not worth reusing the MOBO since it's old and I can't imagine any decent CPU fitting in there. I'd like to rip out the mobo and CPU and buy a new one of each... preferably a combo, unless you guys don't recommend a combo purchase.
I'd like to reuse my DDR3. The DDR3 in this mobo is old... 1167Mhz, I believe. But I have a bunch of A-Tech 4GB DDR3 1333MHz PC3-10600 Desktop RAM Module | Non-ECC Unbuffered DIMMs laying around. I'd like to put those to good use.
What mobo would you recommend and what CPU? It would be basic web browsing, some file storage, word processing, etc. OS would most likely be Win10Pro 64bit or possibly Linux or possibly Windows Server 2012R2 or 2016.
PSU is 750W and in good shape. I have six (6) 2TB SATA drives in the case and I'd reuse those for storage and I have an extra SSD 120GB for the OS.
Thanks!!
[edit] Budget for MOBO/CPU is $200... possibly $250. I don't mind buying used, but new is preferred.[/edit]
