Not sure DDR4 fits in that board. DDR3 and DDR4 have a different amount of 'pins'.
EDIT: Ok I see you switched to the DDR4 model.

Typically, controllers are USB based so it should work considering you have USB ports.

You would need to make a bootable USB and drop the ISO on it..: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10

How much processing power and memory do the emulators he speaks of wanting to run use? That's one reason I was suggesting 16gb of RAM. Yeah, the GTX 970 will do him fine on 1080p.

The emulators dont take alot, I mean the 4GB stick i have is enough for that

The OEM tray CPU does not have a warranty from intel, that is the 3 years. The intel cooler is a good cooler for a stock CPU. You might need a external DVD drive for playing all the games you have on Disc like Wii, GameCube, N64, PS2, and PS1 .

I would get a regular sized 970 since the case supports cards up to 310x145x47mm (LxHxD) and comes with a riser, the itx version seems to be plagued with qc issues and overall reliability
here are some sizes

for wii and gamecube I can dump them on my wii using homebrew and for the others... is it possible to dump any kind of disk on a wii? if not, I'll get an external dvd drive

Just wanted to point out that N64 was a cartridge console, so it didn't have disks.

Carry on.
