ATX power supplies are all interchangeable. The only question is whether your PSU produces enough power to run your new configuration. You should be fine there.

The question isn't whether the motherboards are compatible with each other, it's whether Windows will run, download all the proper motherboard drivers and leave you with a functioning system.

If you set it up for automatic download of needed drivers, you will probably be okay, but be prepared for Windows Update to take quite a bit of time to find the drivers. Alternately, you could let Windows use the default drivers long enough so you can limp over to the motherboard manufacturer's website and download the drivers from there. The second is probably faster.
