mesamb1 is on to something there, its not like you're going to be modeling jet fighters here, even a below average computer should handle basic parts and small assemblies no problem.

Yeah, what I usually recommend to students who have a desktop at home that is mediocre, but no (or no decent) gpu, is to pick up a decent used quadro on ebay for $50 or so. They're often amazed at the difference that makes for them. Down the road if they want a nicer computer, building is discussed.
