I have chosen some parts based on budget, and I've done my best to educate myself and make sure they will be compatible. Can you guys take a look at this list and tell me if you know these will work? All these parts were copied from Newegg except for the ones labeled otherwise.

As you can see, I'm looking to combine a SSD with a hard drive to increase the boot speed and load time of a few programs. OS and solidworks on the SSD and all the regular files and pictures saved to the hard drive. If you have any tips for setting up an SSD with a hard drive like that, I would love to hear them.

Thanks
