We are currently in the process of upgrading our computers from using AutoCAD LT 2012 and SketchUp 2015, but due to Windows XP now being obsolete, we are having to build new computers. We are on a tight budget, around about £600 for the whole computer. I have mocked up a quick build on PCPartPicker (useful tool, stuck with some of my personal specs on this) and has left us about £140 for a graphics card for CAD. We use AutoCAD 70-75% of the time and SketchUp the rest so would need a graphics card to our budget, and would perform well with the programs.

I am drawn between the AMD FirePro V4900, GeForce GTX750TI (I have the GTX760 at home, very good for SketchUp and gaming but a bit over budget), and then there's the Quadro 400 which is in my opinion overpriced for what you get.

Any ideas what would be a decent graphics card for the price?
