Hello. I am looking to build a PC mostly for structural engineering software as well as Autodesk Building Design Suite. Could you please verify the compatibility of my proposed build? I have never built a machine myself but I have a friend who will assist me in the build. We came up with these products last night. Any feedback will be appreciative.
These are the Autodesk Requirements:

Solution
1. You will want a case. Pick one that visually appeals to you.
If space is a premium, you can consider a M-ATX sized Z87 motherboard and a smaller case.

2. You have a integrated video adapter. It is fine for non fast action games.
I would defer on the discrete graphics card until you know what you need, or if you need one at all.

3. You will want a 2 x 8gb ram kit of 1.5v DDR3 low profile ram.

Looks quite good actually. Which case will you use? You'll need a quality case with a good air flow. Also 600W Corsair should be enough for this build but for some future additions (maybe a 2nd gpu) 750W would be better. Not a big deal though...
