Well I just got an offer to make a computer out of the $1500 they're giving me. I want to get into game design (writing mostly) and i like character modeling and such too. So waht kind of computers would you suggest? What parts are really helpful for this sort of work? Any and all suggestions would be great! And are there any other programs I should know about besides Photoshop and Maya? Sorry, I've only been able to read about this stuff, just got the internet a couple of months ago so I'm JUST learning photoshop.

Don't cross post.
