You have been asking this same question multiple times, and never seem to stick around long enough to get an answer. So why not try that first? Go back and find some of your earlier posts with this same question, and then see what people have suggested.

Those 'architectural softwares' should have minimum and recommended system requirements. Those give a clear indication of what's need to run them satisfactorily (the recommended system requirements).

Going above them might make them even faster If, for example, they only support 2 cores, a 4 core CPU won't make much difference.

Here are some hits from googling;

http://www.google.com/search?q=graphic+card+for+cad&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=com.pclinuxos:en-US:official&client=firefox-a

I am not sure if anyone here has worked in that field but I understand its very hardware intensive. Just like a gaming computer, the graphic card is very important and some are very expensive. You need to do some searching to what/which you can afford first then decide building the computer around that. If you just want to upgrade the present computer then tell us what computer you have. Are you in that field now...or thinking of getting in?

"615" tells nothing. And you don't tell about the RAM, the CPU and the OS. And how old the PC is.

Try again with more info.
