New build critique

[Miky9]

Hi, I need help with selection of components. I don't need OS. I will use it primarily for work in CAD (ArchiCAD) and 3D programs, as well as the playback of HD videos. Configuration should be quiet to work at night. My budget is $1500.
What do you think about SSD?

My suggestion:
ENERMAX NAXN 80+ http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...2080%2b%20500W
Fractal Design Define R3 Black http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...0Black%20Pearl
Gigabyte GA-Z68X-UD3P-B3 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...A-Z68X-UD3P-B3
Intel Core i5-2500K http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...-072-_-Product
Kingston 8GB (kit 2x 4GB) 1333MHz http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...-075-_-Product
Noctua NH-U9B SE2 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...20NH-U9B%20SE2
OCZ Vertex Series 60GB http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820227394
TP-LINK TL-WN781ND Wireless Adapter http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...K%20TL-WN781ND

3x the speed $5 less...

Everything else looks fine.

Is it really necessary to have a SSD?

I don't know how it builds on the CAD programs.

No, it is not necessary. It does however really speed up big software packages like CAD.

Here's some comments:
- PSU: Nice, but totally unnecessary. This Seasonic 350W will be quiet, more efficient, and less expensive.
- Case: Good
- Mobo: More expensive than you need. I'd grab the GA-Z68A-D3H instead.
- CPU: The K series have the better IGP, so I'd stick with what you've got even though you won't be overclocking.
- RAM: Good
- HSF: Good
- SSD : Go with what mnewsham suggested
- Wifi: I don't have any experience with that particular card. I'd say to use wired Ethernet if at all possible
- Storage HDD : Good

Thanks for the advice with SSD.

I want to overclock to 4.7GHz. It is a good mobo for that.
