Best desktop PC builds for AutoCAD?

Hey there!

I'm on the hunt for some desktop recommendations. Most of my heavy lifting will be in AutoCAD (plus a few custom add-ons I use). I’m also going to need a massive amount of memory because my library of saved sketches and files is getting out of hand.

Where should I shop around, who's actually worth talking to, and what specific specs should I be obsessing over?

Thanks!

What kind of budget are we looking at here? How are you planning to pay—cash or credit? And just to be clear, do you only need the tower, or are you looking for a full setup with a monitor and peripherals too?

Way past the limit.
I'm guessing somewhere around 8,000-$3.00
