1) get i5 7500 because the frame difference will be about 1 frame
2) B250 chipset boards are cheaper and don't really sacrifice any gaming benefits
3) Bigger storage drive, today's games that are really worth playing will eat up a lot of space. Even keeping the SSD and grabbing a seagate barracuda (the newer ones, mind you) will be great.

Otherwise, looks nice.

Would this build last me awhile running new games on high settings and a good framerate? I dont know that much about all this stuff and thats all im really concerned with. Also do you know a cheaper way to get an OS? They all seem so expensive and my current computer has xp so i definitely need to upgrade.

I would also do more shopping. Make sure those places are the best places to order your hardware from. Consider the 480. Now look over here https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814125907.

Parts picker prices are not always up to date.
I would only order from Newegg and Amazon and items that are sold and shipped by them.
Buy a legit copy of windows if that must be figured into the price then drop the SSD you can always add one later.
The SSD is not really going to help in game performance and I consider it a luxery item. Who really cares if your PC takes 60 seconds to boot or 15 seconds as long as your gaming performance is their.
