More RAM will be useful in engineering

A SSD for programs like Inventor (Just using this as an example) that take a decent amount of time to load 

EVGA G2 PSU instead of CX

cx series is a no-no

Pretty much this^ with the only changes I'd make: dropping the 4690k in favor of the Xeon E3-1231v3, which saves some money on a cooler, motherboard and direct that money into a monitor which OP needs.

If that's what he needs, sure, the 970 would be good ^^

A 520W PSU with a 390 is pushing it imo, just get a higher-wattage one to have some overclocking headroom perhaps?

He won't even hit 92% usage, and will hardly ever hit that mark... but I get what you mean.

 

Give 300W to the R9 390.  480W on the 12v rail.  That is 180W for the system.  It scrapes by =P

Xeon E3 is better than i5 4690k?

Bad capacitors that, when under load, have a reasonably high chance of exploding. This, in turn, can damage components in your PC. Invest in a good PSU now, so you won't have to replace dead components later.

They're not even close to that... Not good for high-end GPUs.

 

 

Xeon E3 is better than i5 4690k?

It's faster, and more powerful overall, it has lower single-core performance but that shouldn't matter much since you're getting hyperthreading instead

For engineering. The hyperthreading will wreck the 4690K in rendering and it doesn't do too badly in gaming either. It has a higher IPC because it's better binned (being a Xeon and all), so at 3.4GHz it is comparable to a non-OC' ed 4690K.

Actually, the 1231 has better single core performance at stock speeds in comparison to a 4690K due to a better binning process.

Well, I'm assuming he'll overclock, nobody would buy a Z97 + 212 Evo + 4690k and leave it at stock speeds...

The Xeon gets a boost when a program can use more than four cores.  We are just guessing that you will need more multi-threaded support and that you do not like to overclock.

 

We are sort of phishing for you to respond.
