Hey guys :D
My manager asked me to look for some components in order to build a pc that would allow AutoCAD to perform well, I'm a bit new to the field so i was wondering if you guys can help me build it and provide me with some advice. I found a PCBuilder website and the components look solid, i have a budget of $1350 but i still need to get a monitor, a BlueRay DVD, a mouse and a keyboard.

Also note in the build below that i need to change the SSD to a 1TB HDD and i also need a DDR3 RAM with minimum 8GB (manager said so lol)
And for the PSU, it might also change depending on the power requirements.

DDR3 Ram is quite outdated, you'll need DDR4 or even DDR5 for modern-day systems.

The above build you posted looks good overall! Feel free to change the SSD to a larger capacity, you'll have no compatibility issues with this type of change.
