You currently only listed the motherboard that you chose. I'm hoping you with with at least a FX6300 (other good options would be 8320/8350). AutoCad recommends workstation graphics for acceleration (depending on what your needs are with autocad) where as workstation graphics are not as good at gaming. Search "autocad hardware acceleration" and it should come up with "Find Recommended Hardware" and select graphics hardware. I'm not really familiar with AutoCad to recommend non-workstation graphics (recommendations and compatibility would likely vary between driver releases). Sorry I couldn't help more.
