Planning on selling my current Dell pc, and building this one. Just making sure that everything is compatible, and seeing if there is anything I should change! I will be using it to run things like Android Studio, Eclipse, and virtual devices/emulators (phones). I still haven't decided on a gpu, but that shouldn't be an issue. Just need to verify that everything is compatible. Also, anything you would change? THANKS!! -Ethan

UPDATE: I HAVE A SPARE 500GB WESTERN DIGITAL BLUE HDD THAT I ALSO PLAN ON PUTTING IN. FOR A GPU, I PLAN ON AN ASUS GEFORCE GTX 750TI 2GB.

Here a couple of changes. I hope you have more storage because a single 120GB ssd is not going to be enough.

Isn't the z170 a better mobo for just $10 more? Also, the evga psu is higher wattage, gold certified, and fully modular for just $2 extra. correct me if i am wrong, thanks.

The Z170 board is only "better" because it supports overclocking(although it's not good at it) and faster RAM. Your build has neither of those things.
That EVGA psu, despite being gold rated and fully mod, is flat out unreliable compared to the Seasonic. "higher wattage doesn't matter unless you plan on adding an older power hungry beast of a video card. 520w is enough for ANY current video card.

MERGED QUESTION
Question from Ethan_48 : "Would You Make Any Changes to this Build?"



Your requirement is more cpu intensive. Why have you chosen a relatively weaker cpu? You should rather try to cut some of those prices and accomodate an i5 there. Also that DDR4-2400 is not compatible with that motherboard unless you downclock it.
Both the SSD are good quality, you can choose either.
This should be the kind of build you should look at, including psu. Better cpu, better gpu, more ram, and good quality psu.
