The site PCPartPicker is great for this stuff and yes, all components are compatible.

A few suggestions, however. The RX 5#0 are all being swept out of stock by miners and will be very difficult or expensive to get. I would suggest a GTX 1060, the 3gb for under $200 and the 6gb for over. If your heart is set on a Radeon GPU, check out eBay. I personally wanted a RX 580 for my build, but they where completely sold out. As long as you PSU has a higher voltage than the PCPP approximation, you will be fine.
Hope this helps!

Performance-wise they are not compatible -- only physically compatible if you are to base your decision on PCPartPicker alone. You are spending too much money for features you can't use.
For example, though the i5-7400 can physically fit on a Z270 motherboard, it is not a good pairing both in price and performance. The CPU you selected is a locked (i.e., non-OC'able) CPU, while the Z270 mobo is intended for OC'ing. So, you are paying a $$$ premium for OC'ing which you can never even take advantage of.
The B250-chipset motherboard (which are non-OC'able) costs way less than the Z270-chipset mobos.
The i5-7400 (3.0GHz to 3.5GHz Tubo) and the i5-7500 (3.4GHz to 3.8GHz Turbo) has a difference of only $13.
RAM can also be improved. If you are set to pick a locked Intel CPU, it's best to get a 2400MHz speed for almost the same price as that is the maximum speed the setup can support. 16GB is recommended in todays games, but, opt for a 2x8GB to take advantage of dual-channel memory speeds.
The choice of the GPU depends on your monitor resolution/refresh rate, your current PSU quality, and the spatial clearance in your case.
Here's a suggested build (excluding the PSU you already have - assuming it's enough, as you did not mention its specs):

That is true, forgive my ignorance. But I hope regardless we helped. Just do your research and ask enough questions, it's what I do.

Is it the WD drive? Then it shouldn't fair too badly. Also, if you have access to a 570, and want it, then get it. I only spoke because I had a very hard time finding one even in stock in the US, that wasn't supper overpriced.

Anything 80+ bronze (opinion, but 80+ at least) and I'd say 450-ish for systems under 400. Just keep some headroom. A 500w should be fine for you and keep to name brands such as Seasonic, evga, corsair, etc. I've heard that Rosewill is ok, but not the best. Rule of thumb, try not to buy a case that haste a PSU, unless you are going for a mATX slim or micro ITX build (which it seams you aren't). Use PcPartPicker, and it will help you keep things compatible. Post it on the PcPartPicker and TomsHardware forums just like you did to get suggestions.
A word on that, some people are thick skulked and will want to change things in the lists even if you say you want it to stay the same.
