Hey there! I found this site to be a reliable source for answers, so I came here to ask if my parts are compatible, or if I needed a better power supply or motherboard.
My Specs:
Seagate Barracuda 1TB Hard Drive
Antec VSK 4000E ATX Mid Tower Case
AMD A Series A6-6400K
Kingston ValueRAM 4GB Desktop Memory
ASUS GeForce GT 610
Asus P8Q67-M

Just wondering how many Watts I will need or if any parts are incompatible. BTW I know that there is no power source on the list. I want to know how many watts I need before I decide which power source I want. (And the one I was buying was taken off the site.) I am purchasing all parts from tigerdirect.ca and I am from canada. I am also trying to keep my PC's budget at around $325-$350 Canadian
 
Asus P8Q67-M is the intel lga1155 socket MB, you can't use it for the AMD A6 cpu.

You need the FM2 MB, like ASRock FM2A68M-DG3+ for the A6 6400K. Also may consider the AMD Athlon II X4 750K too, which is better than the A6 6400K, also you have the gt 610. And it is better than the onboard HD 8470D.

Your PC will only draw less than 200W power. This one is more than enough Antec Basiq BP350 http://www.tigerdirect.ca/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=3650088&CatId=11994

AMD Athlon II X4 750K http://www.tigerdirect.ca/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=5584276&CatId=8732

Thanks for your info on it. But I found a sufficient power supply for cheaper and I am really trying to get an A6-6400K. Do you know any cheap motherboards that I can use that is compatible with the 6400K? My PC is already near the top of the budget and if I need a new motherboard, I found a FM2+ socket. Will that work? Sorry if I don't understand this much, I am very young and this is my first build.
 
Now that you have told me some recommendations about my system. Here is a new updated list with the compatible parts.
These are the notes I made exactly

PC Part Picker said this: Antec VSK4000E U3 ATX Mid Tower Case has front panel USB 3.0 ports, but the Asus A68HM-K Micro ATX FM2+ Motherboard does not have onboard USB 3.0 headers.

Doest that incompatibility matter that much?
 
So you have four choices:
1) Buy other case that has the front USB2.0 and USB3.0 port, and use the USB2.0 port only.
2) Buy other MB has USB3.0 header so that you can use the front USB3.0.
3) Buy the adapter ( USB2.0 to USB3.0), and use the front USB3.0 port in USB2,0 speed. The adapter like https://www.amazon.ca/niceeshop-USB3-0-Motherboard-Adapter-Converter-Black/product-reviews/B00GNVE0ZG/ref=dpx_acr_txt?showViewpoints=1
4) Last one, let the front USB port along, use the back USB2.0 and USB3.0 ports.
