Workstation for school: Graphics Card

Hi guys,

I'm looking to build a new workstation for school but I'm stuck on the graphics card issue. From what I was told alot of my work will consist of AutoCAD as well as a little bit of 3D rendering. (I have to confirm the 3D rendering part again though)

My 2 choices are the GTX 560 Ti or the Nvidia quadro 600.

I've been researching on the autodesk forums along with others and there isnt really a clear answer as to which is better.

Alot of people say the GTX performs just as well with CAD as the quadro, but its not on Autodesk's certified list, but then others go and say the list is always outdated etc and that everyone is switching to Geforce anyway due to quadro being more expensive... this is all pretty mind boggling

Any insight?

Side note: For those that might ask, I dont really plan on gaming
