Ok so a family member wants a computer to work from home with occasionally and asked me to help them. They want something that is CHEAP and will work for what they need.
I have never used autocad/have no idea what it requires. I do however have a "PC Grave Yard" in my closet that has a pc with the following specs:
Core i3 4160
8GB DDR3
1TB Hard Drive
I also have two spare GPUs in that closet. One is an AMD 7770 and the other is an AMD 7750. I think this person does a job where they look at schematics and place fire safety equipment where its supposed to go. (sprinklers, alarms, ect) I have no idea what kind of processing is required for this but I could basically give them this pc for free (I only need to get a windows key for it since I cannibalized it for something else).
Anybody with AutoCad experience:
Would this computer work for this need? Does it need the GPUs in it? Thanks for any insights anyone can provide!
