yes, H110 only lacks RAID support, it is the same as h170 in all other aspects (at least ones you should be concerned with). What case are you getting/have? Make sure if you get ATX board your case can fit one.

Yes 500W is enough you should have ~200W headroom. Also you do not need a z170 board for a non K processor, the only difference between H170 and Z170 is overclock ability. Should you want to go down to H110 to save money you should know that it does not support RAID if you ever plan on doing that.

Hello.

Yes, the EVGA 500W 80+ Bronze is enough. This card requires very little power, and 500W is the recommended power for it. Since you will not be overclocking I assume (non-k processor), there is no problem whatsover.

RAID is where you can set up multiple identical drives as 1 drive, you can use this as an "instant" backup or to effectively double drive performance. Only issue is that in the increased performance mode you are twice as likely to loose all your data as a failure in one drive will render the data unrecoverable. If you're just gaming you shouldn't really need it.
