    Hey rfranks ,

    Best thing to do is check the minimum specs for the software you are using.

    Here's a link for Blender Requirements

    And then decide if your willing to part with your hard earned cash.

    Every ones choices will be different.

    I like to see how your graphic card can really do. Keep us update.

    Thanks for that, I also got these 2 quotes (mainly after the graphics card if anything)...
