Hi, I'm looking to buy a second hand desktop for work at home. I need the computer to be able to handle AutoCAD 2018 and maybe some light Revit work. Is the spec of this computer able to handle the programs? If not, can someone recommend a computer that would? Budget 500/600 euros. Thanks Bob

The MSI Nividia GeForce GT 710 is a bad GPU.

The 400w PSU will be week, if you want to run a better GPU,, 4 cores was ok a few years back,, there are better CPU's to pick from these days.

Also, Corsair Vengeance LPX 2 x 4gb DDR4-2400 ,, is not enough. and the Gigabyte GA-A320M-S2H motherboard is the lowset end chipset for the AM4 socket.
