[SOLVED] Powerful PC for AutoCAD

[3adamrutter]

Hi guys!

I am new here!

Since a couple of weeks I got a new job as timber constructor ( drawing floors, walls and roofs ), I need a powerful build for AutoCAD and also some gaming, 1080p 144hz. Most games I play are: CoD MW, Division 2, RDR 2, Battlefield 4 & V, R6.

Things I already have are: storage and NZXT H510 case

Can any of you recommend a build? My budget is 2000 euro's.

Gaming and CAD builds don't mix well - good gaming GPUs are bad CAD performers, and vice versa. Put your priorities in order, and check Autodesk recommendations.

Would you recommend putting a gaming and a quadro card in maybe?

Recommended Systems for Autodesk AutoCAD

• In the case of AutoCAD, the majority of the software is only single threaded so it is only able to utilize a single core of the CPU.
• However, we have found that, except in extreme situations, there is little to no noticeable benefit to using anything faster than a Quadro P2000. AutoCAD is also very light on VRAM usage, so there is no reason to pay out for a card with lots of VRAM for strictly AutoCAD use.

Something like this should be good...
