So I have been reading your post on the A Series cards. I am buying a new laptop to run AutoCad and Chief Architect because CA x15(2024) will not work with my old laptop (I was on x11) My budget is $1700-$2200. Will the A4000 be a good choice and also any thoughts on other must haves in the laptop to make it a complete rock solid setup to run these programs? Memory, GB's etc... I really want the PBR RT to run well. 

No on the a4000.

im doing great with an amd6850x which should fall within your budget
