after looking on autocad's website, they say that basically all workstation graphics cards are tested for use with autocad... so should i run a workstation graphics card, or a desktop gaming card?? I do still want to play games occasionally!
I wouldn't risk a 1500 dollar computer on 450w. I personally would go with around 550. I have an Antec NeoPower 550 that's been running my system for a while now and I love it. Check this out for help..
