Howdy!
Looking to build my first desktop PC. I've done a little bit of research, but I'm still somewhat stumped on what would be best for me. I understand the components and what each one does, like I said though, not sure which parts I need to focus on for my needs. I'm hoping to get a good "starter" computer and upgrade the parts slowly piece by piece. The main thing I'm concerned about right now is, I wan't to be able to run programs like Autodesk's AutoCAD, and ESRI's ArcGIS, and Android Studio, very smoothly. I will be doing some video creating/editing as well. I will probably eventually set it up to a projector to watch movies, but it won't have to be 4K quality. I would like to be able to run 2 monitors together, (3 would be nice, but not a necessity). Budget is $350, Max is $400. I eventually plan on doing some gaming on PC, but that won't be until later.
My main questions are, what type of Case should I get to reduce the chances of needing to buy a new one? I would like to get a good, (hopefully cheap) case that can be used for several years, it doesn't have to be pretty. How concerned should I be about ventilation? I KNOW it's important, but how many fans are really necessary? Here are 2 supercombos I found on Newegg that seem like they might be alright.
Cheaper one:

Intel one:

I do plan on doing a solid and almost complete upgrade in the next year, I just need a faster machine now as I only have a Sony Vaio Laptop dual-core 2.4 ghz, 4gb Ram.
Do those look like good starting places? Open to and appreciative of any feedback. Thanks!
