Too many options… If I pay the store to build my PC, will they blindly install the components I select, or will they alert me to incompatible selections or better alternatives?

If I am being honest, this build is a little more pricy than I'd like but I think it will be okay and manageable. This build is meant to be able to hand applications like SolidWorks, Blender, and still good at multitasking for gaming and streaming. Knowing this I understand the build is going to be pricy. Here is my build…

I've only recently started getting into PCs so I really don't know a ton when it comes to putting one together with the right parts. So I figured this one up solely based on what I can afford and the base requirements I want in a PC, but as far as any of the advanced stuff or how good any of these parts would be I really…
