4 GB RAM isn't great for a 64-bit OS and software, and is very underqualified for 3D work in AutoCAD or verticals.  For any realistic AutoCAD work you should have at least 8 GB RAM; for 3D work 12 GB or more is better.  The processor is a bit slow as well, usually 2 - 3 GHz is acceptable.  If this is "only" for school work it should work with a lot of patience and simple examples.

Hello

 

1) The fastest Core i5/i7 possible ... 2.8/3.0 Ghz (or more) is good !

( ONLY ONE processor ) 

 

2) Please I prefer Win Seven (compared to Win Eight)

 

3) If it's to work really on medium/large projects, you need at minimum 12/16 Gb (or more)

On small projects (or trainings), 8/12 Gb could be enough ...

 

4) A very fast HD SATA , maybe SSD as primary HD if you have the budget

 

5) A graphics card with its OWN memory (1 Gb)

If you have a few money : NVidia Quadro Series 600/1000 or equivalent from ATI ...

 

Bye, Pat
