I am looking for a decent video card and a Motherboard whilebeing on a very limited budget. I have only \$1000 to spend on thiscomputer. This is going to be used at home and will only be runningSW and AutoCAD. I was looking at a motheboard with a P45 Intelchipset. Is there any recommendations on a decent motherboard thatis also kind of inexpensive.
About the Video card. I was reading in the forum that it looks likethe NVidia is preferred over the ATI. I was looking at an HD4850until I read about the Nvidia. What would be a good video card thatis relatively inexpensive? Is the HD4850 or HD4870 a card that willwork or does SW not like ATI?
I also picked the Intel E8400 3.0GHz processor
Western Digital HD 500GB @ 7200rpm
4 GB RAM (G.Skill 2x2GB sticks)
I know this isn't much of a budget but this is all I have.
Thank you for your help. I appreciate any and all help withthis.SolidworksAdministration
