I would just check with AutoDesk Support and their Forum to see what GPU works best ... or if any particular drivers cause problems.

Once you are certain exactly which GPU suits you, come on back and we will build a system around that, according to your remaining budget.

(just some wise advice ... find out the best GPU from your applications developer/community, as a source, then build your system around that. ?? )

Unfortunately, nVidia cards are generally much better for AutoCAD and workstations in general. They're even better with Batman. So you may just have to go with them. I would definitely double check with the exact program you use though...

Here's what I would change:

RAM: G.Skill Pi Series 3x2 GB 1600 mhz CAS Latency 7 Faster RAM.
PSU: Earthwatts 650W A much, much, much better PSU.
HSF: Coolermaster Hyper 212 Plus A much better cooler.
GPU: GTX 260 (or whatever they recommend)

1+^ tnx mad admiral.. but RAM is much costly though.

The RAM is espensive, but for rendering you want fast sticks. You need to get CL sticks at least.
