yes teh board is good adn it will fit in teh case.
ofcourse you want both an ssd and hdd.
i7 is enough for your needs.
no graphics card needed if not gaming.

These days, if you are not overclocking, the motherboard is basically meaningles as they are all good and perform the same. Soo you shoudl get the cheapest that has teh features one would need: an M.2 slot and 4 RAM slots and the GB has those.
Ofcourse, you may desire higher end audio, or some other extra features, in which case i recommend the Asus z170-PRO. As a bonus, Asus also have awesome fan control in their firmware.
All that being said, any MB with a non-overclocking PCU will perfrom almost exactly the same.
