I am in the midst of earning a degree in 3d animation. I have two years left before I graduate and I desperately need a new computer. I use Maya 8.5 and must create animated clips, 3d models, etc. constantly. The computer I have now cannot even run Maya, so...I must run to the computer lab every time I work on an assignment. I have built a pc on the cyberpower website and was wondering if you could take a look at it to see how it is. Remeber I need this to be able to render scenes very well. Also playing games like crysis at max wouldn't hurt either lol. My budget is 1500 -1600.

It has (1) 150gb 10,000 rpm drive for the OS and programs, and (1) 500gb 7400rpm drive for files.
The case can probably be found on some other site for cheaper, I think I saw someone said they saw it listed for around $75 on the forums somewhere, so search around. But if you do not like the case (I don't, but others swear by it) then you can choose the one you like and add it to the list.
The motherboard has IE1394 (firewire) so that you can transfer video files easily, but I don't know if you need it or not. If you do not need it, then you can find a cheaper motherboard. Just let me know if you do not need it and I will change my selection.
