Yes, the z170 has 6 SATA connectors, an SSD is no different from a HDD when it comes to connectors. Now there are other types of SSD's that connect differently from HDD, but your standard SSD is the same.

Sorry if i sound stupid but this is my first build and i dont want to mess it up. I dont mind the ssd's price but would like to know if its compatible/eorks with my motherboard having the only ssd. Do i have yo buy another ssd to sideload windows?

No problem using an SSD only. Install Windows to it as you would any other drive. The only exception might be if you want to load it onto a bootable NVMe drive, which is a little more complicated.
