My only suggestion is to add an SSD for faster boot times.

I am definitely thinking about it but a 240 gb ssd is about the same price as a 1 tb and i dont know if the extra space is less important than quicker boot times. I am new to pc gaming so i dont know how much space I will need

Your Windows will boot faster (few seconds). But if you are super patient then a regular HDD with Fast Boot enabled on Windows 10 should get similar result (maybe a bit more). 

Game load faster (maps/textures/levels) but not all will benefit

Some reviews say it doesn't work. But overall should be a nice orange mobo. Though I prefer blue. 

He still fits the budget with a better mobo.

If you're gonna pay $115 for a mobo at least have it be Z170
