Re: computer build for CAD use (and games)

If you have a x64 system, go for more RAM.

Otherwise, I'd also get another hard drive. 250Gb ain't what it used to be, especially if you want to start loading it up with a ton of games (many take up several Gb of hard drive space each). Right now - just for my laptop - I have a 40Gb internal, a 60Gb portable USB external, a 320Gb USB external, and a 750Gb Firewire 800/eSATA external.
