There used to be ways to convert educational Autodesk licenses into professional licenses for quite a discount. You should look into that. $370ish isn't cheap for a CPU I bought my quad core when it was just below top of the line for ~$240. EDIT: You won't need a pro license to mod games unless you plan to sell the mods,…

Well, a bit harder. I can try to make my own rig and I think it's very similar to the normal version of Maya which I have used for years as a student at design school. I actually like Maya LT, the modeling and UV tools are great. It's just rigging could be easier but it's not that much easier in Maya regular edition. The…
After reading this i wonder if i should wait for the 600 nvidia cards. I was wanting to upgrade from my msi 8800gt 512mb card soon.
