These things require considarable amount of space, I'd highly recommend a 1 TB Drive.
Rest of your specs look good.

Go for Microsoft KB Mouse Combo, simple and durable.
PSU Antec VP500 is good i guess.

If you're not going to overclock, go for a B85 chipset mobo and save around 3k. That money can be spent on a larger hard drive / SSD / faster cpu (look for a Xeon E3 1246 v3 or E3 1241 v3 depending on whether you need the iGPU), which will be more noticeable upgrades. Also, for the RAM, go for a single 8GB stick and save an extra slot for future upgrades. Dual Channel memory has no real impact on real world usage.

Yes.I will go for the single 8GB ram stick.I have plan of upgrading to a 5th gen cpu later.This is why I need h97.
And iGpu is also needed.Im not in a hurry adding HDD,SSD,because all those software I mentioned earlier,not going to use simultaneously,but I'll use them.My current pc is dead.I just want to resume my work now with the old 500gb hdd.
It has sata 3gbps connector,but the mobo has no 3gps connector,it has 6bps connector.Is this a problem?

There's going to be hardly any performance gains in 5th Gen(Broadwell) cpu's over 4th Gen (Haswell). It's just a die shrink meaning slightly lower power consumption. No point upgrading to that if you're buying a new Haswell cpu now. And, knowing Intel, they'll have an entirely new socket for the 6th gen (new architecture) so your h97 board will also be obsolete by then.

Your old HDD will work with the 6 gbps connector.

OK.Then please suggest some great b85 board,except GIGABYTE.I have to change the ram then,hyperx fury 1866 doesnt support b85.
Suggest some board which has nice look.

Well, I have been running a Gigabyte B75 board for 2 years now with no issues. Anyway, you can check this out : *mdcomputers.in/products/motherboard/msi-motherboard-b85-g41-pc-mate.html

I cannot recommend any ASUS boards since I've had nothing but bad experiences with them.

^That seems to have more features but will likely cost as much as the h97 board. B-series is meant as a stable, cost-effective platform.
