You guys have been such a great source of inspiration on my previous build (6-core amd stuff ) that once again, I would like to have some info

I'm putting up a PC for a person that doesn't care about the box, he will be doing CAD with Catia and Solid Edge programs (which are optimized for FirePRO and AMD). The budget is 900$ with taxes/everything in. By now I have the following:

GSkill f3-12800CL9D-4gbrl ripjaws 4gb kit at 108$
An OEM DVD RW for 19$
A 500GB Hard drive for about 50$ (at private supplier)
A 120mm Fan that I'll leave to the guy for 10$
The Antec Sonata III with 500w PSU for 110$
