I am wanting to upgrade my dell optiplex 745 sff motherboard to a motherboard that will take a fm2+ CPU can someone please lead me to the right direction of which mobo I should get that fits it

I believe that a dell sff would not match up correctly. I would go with a bare PC case. For Mini-ITX size motherboard:
Mini-ITX Computer Case

Works with standard Desktop ATX PSU's

-or-

Mini-ITX Tower Computer Case

Support Regular ATX power supply

A Micro-ATX size motherboard will fit a mini tower.

The Dell Optiplex 745 SFF system uses the outdated, BTX form-factor motherboard. The expansion slots are to the left of the rear I/O ports. All current motherboards are of the ATX, Micro-ATX, or Mini-ITX Form-Factor. The expansion slots are to the right of the rear I/O ports. As Calvin7 states, you should be looking at getting a new case.
