I'm going to build a pc with Gigabyte B250m d3h motherboard, Intel core i3 7100 processor, Kingston DDR4 4GB 2400MHz RAM, Toshiba 6Gb/s 1TB harid disk drive, Cooler master RS 400W power supply and subzero frost wolf chasin. Is this pc competible. (I'm gonna use onboard vga graphics)

Well, yes, it's compatible.

I'd recommend looking at hte G4560 rather than the i3-7100. Lower clock speed, but very comparable performance.... I think the onboard GPU is a tier down though.

No, it won't support Optane. I don't see it as a big deal, Optane (currently) is barely more than a gimick.

It's a cache drive (as SSDs were a few years ago). Optane is $77 for 32GB, and for the price you can have a 240GB SSD, which will outperform Optane.
