It be for very basic sketch up of like plumbing systems and other various construction type designs. I was thinking a 650 ti boost. Will this be suffice?

    AutoCAD, even for minor work needs a bit more horsepower for quick rendering.

    AMD Ryzen 9 7950X,  Corsair Mp700 Pro M.2, 64GB Corsair Dominator Titanium DDR5  X670E Steel Legend, MSI RTX 4090 Associate Code: H5U80QBH6BH0AXF. I am NOT an employee of EVGA

    Support for SLI video cards
    Issue     You want to know if Autodesk tests or supports SLI-enabled video cards. SLI technology enables multiple video cards to be linked together to increase video performance.

    Solution

    Currently, Autodesk does not test or support SLI-enabled video cards. For a complete list of tested and support video cards and driver versions, refer to the following web page:

    Id skip kepler gpu's for now. Go with a 400's or a 580 3GB or an AMD, if ya can find one. Nvidia screwed us on memory bandwidth on Kepler, and Kepler still has lots of issues with drivers and with modeling, aka Cad, Blender, Maya and so on.....

    Per bcavnaugh's link from AutoCAD, it looks like they have at one time supported a few GeForce models as low as the upper end of 200-series, which is the equivalent of GTX 650 Ti nowadays.   
     
    But if all you're doing it 2D sketches, you won't need much GPU power for it, IGP is fine; you will need CPU power for it, so don't get a Celeron/Pentium version.
     
    Note:  If you're doing anything for work, your customer/client will want/prefer a certified system for regulation qualifications and what not, so cheaping out on a GeForce/Radeon might not be a good idea; that is what Quadro/FirePro are for.

    For Intel processors, 0.122 x TDP = Continuous Amps at 12v [source].
