I bought mine from one of Pixologic's local resellers for $564. That was a while ago but I would suggest checking out what they have to offer. http://www.pixologic.com/resellers/ Either way if any software developer deserves our money as game artists its Pixologic, they're unrivaled in bringing us powerful tools and…
Why you have selected a cheap mobo for top of the line components? I would go with something with much better reviews, like: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813130643 Also, if your not doing any rendering, i would consider saving couple of hundred bucks and going with gtx 560 or 570 (i have 570 and it…
Conrad - I have chased the error codes back up before and nothing seemed to go directly back to the graphics card. I didnt know ATI had some driver issues. I am hoping to get an Nvidia GTX 560 ti or a 570 when I get paid this week IF I get paid enough. Poopipe - (your name made me chuckle) - I ended up replacing my PSU a…

I literally cannot get Blender to show Torchlight Import/Export in the addons menu, tried to link it to the Ogre XML converter several times but doesn't work XO EDIT: Figured out a workaround, using this guy's way of importing the Meshes into Max rather than Blender -…
Thanks guys for the extra info. Unfortunately it looks like the only thing conclusive in terms of hardware is that it's inconclusive! I'm using it on a 560ti (I7) and a 765m (also I7) on Win7 pro on two machines and have yet to get the crash.
Wow is that ever overpriced. For $1500 you can get much better. CPU: sandy bridge- 2600k or 2500k GPU: Geforce 560 with 2gb vram or better RAM: 16gb (you can get that much for under $100 these days from newegg) SSD: 128gb Crucial or OCZ brand (boot drive) Whatever for the rest. You should be able to get a PC with all that…
