Version of Autocad for old i7 6700 CPU

Hello,

I havent used CAD for a long time. I would have to start from scratch.

I got myself a cheap HP Elitedesk SFF to do some CAD - 2d /3d house design and some landscape attempts.

Last i used cad was the version 2002 with a P4 3.2ghz laptop.

The i76700 cpu, would not suite never versions of CAD? It came with win 10 pro, but i would have preferred win7 pro, due to the less resources. I am loooking at aGTX 1650 GPU, maybe try to find a good price on RTX3050 or A2000, but the later being pricey. I have 16gb ram and hp ssd.

I am thinking maybe 2018 version or maybe later, which are the most stable?

Thank you

Sam

Thankyou @paullimapa . My i7 6700 meets the recommended requirements. The GPU, doesnt i was looking at. Also i dont think it would hurt to increase the ram from 16 to 32 also. Regards Sam
