1) remember to bring your motherboard to the distributor and update the bios. You can't do it without a Skylake CPU. So that you can use kaby lake cpu at home.

2) alternatively, get msi b250 gaming pro carbon to save the hassle at some price.

3) as mentioned, get sata ssd. PCIE price not worth the minor performance gain.

4) get Superflower leadex gold 650w for the same price. It's a better psu than Sensonic.

5) if you're using b150, get corsair vengeance 2133mhz ram. B150 mobo don't run more than 2133mhz. Unless you opt for b250 mobo, then the 2400mhz ram is useful.

6) consider palit super Jetstream gtx 1080. It's cheaper and still looks pretty good imo.
