You need a BIOS update with that Motherboard for that CPU. And to do that, you need a 6th gen CPU in the motherboard for the update to happen. So either pick an i5 6500, or get another motherboard.

Or for a bit more than 720:

Much more powerful and more suited.

the mobo says it supports 6th gen

the mobo says it supports 6th gen

Yes, but your CPU is 7th Gen. To allow the motherboard to use a 7th Gen CPU you need to put in a 6th Gen CPU to update the BIOS. This can be done by buying a 6th Gen CPU, which makes no sense since you have bought a 7th Gen CPU, or by borrowing a 6th gen CPU from an acquaintance.

Rather than getting a 6500, which will be slightly slower than a 7500, you should probably go with a 6600k, which will be slightly faster, can be overclocked for even more performance, and only costs a few dollars more at Amazon right now...

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/gx648d/intel-cpu-bx80662i56600k

Edit: of course, you would need a cooler for that, since the 6600k doesn't include one, which increased the total price a bit.

I would skip the SSD. It will quicken game load times,, reduce boot time, quicken Windows navigation, quicken productivity tasks. It doesn't help during gaming meaning it won't add even 1 FPS.

Quicken does not endorse this answer.

Anyways at this budget the SSD isn't valuable. Games these days can eclipse 50GB. I'd not recommend anything smaller than a 256GB but preferable I'd look for a 500GB or larger SSD. You can always add the SSD later. Macrium Reflect and EaseUS are a couple apps that can clone your disk. You can move the OS over to the SSD. WHat's the upside to dropping the SSD?

The 6600K is a good idea. It is only $5 more than the 6500. Adding in a cooler only increases your total by $20 but with that 1060 and the 6600K you've got a significant performance boost.

MERGED QUESTION
Question from bsgx3 : "is my first build ok"

my budget is 720 and the mobo was a gift
ps it was made for gaming

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/krTTvV

Its okayish for 'current gen' 1080p AAA games at medium settings.

Older games will give you more room for higher frame rate or higher eye candy settings thou.

May want to go for a slightly better quality PSU but if your budgets tight it may have to do.

do you recomend any better parts

do you recomend any better parts

If your on a budget its gonna be tight. Probably a GTX 1060 ideally for 1080p with a 500w PSU.

Depends whats your preference is game settings wise.

I do recommend the Intel core i5 8400 $249 it comes with six cores instead of just 4.

Does he really need six cores thou?

Another option would be a 6600 (non-k), which isn't unlocked for overclocking and has slightly lower stock clocks than the 6600k, but should offer similar performance to a 7500, and includes a stock Intel cooler...

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/m9Gj4D/intel-cpu-bx80662i56600

Even the 6500 would likely be fine if you're trying to stay down under a budget, though I thought I'd point out that some faster options are available for just a bit more. Aquielisunari's GTX 1060 / i5-6600k build looks pretty good, though it might be stretching your budget a bit.
