Purchased 3d-coat for windows via Steam. Then, upgraded to Linux license. Now find that using windows is more convenient at this time. Do I have the right to reinstall the Steam version? Do I have the right to use whichever version I like?

I'm eyeballing this combo. Already have tower cases,fans and drives. Will need a beefier PSU, mine's only 450W. http://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboBundleDetails.aspx?ItemList=Combo.2086642 Can buy cooler and gpu later. I assume the cpu comes with some sort of cooling. Haven't bought Intel in years.

Good advice. There's no hurry. I'll postpone any purchases while I learn. Not a lot of confidence in Dell anyway.

Can already can see that my system won't cut it. Sculpting performance is more important to me than rendering. I want to make character models for 3D printing. This is selling for $900 at NewEgg. Would it be adequate for learning 3D-Coat.? Any glaring deficiencies?

New user here. Bought 3d-Coat from Steam ($75 version) yesterday. Started working through the 'Rat From Scratch' tutorials and like the way it's going. Two questions: 1st question: I'll eventually need to upgrade my system, but am curious as to how soon, how much power I'll need. My goal is to learn to make 3D printable, cartoon style figurines. I have: AMD A8 -3850 APU with Radeon HD graphics 2.90 GHz 8.0 Gb memory installed. Windows 7 Pro 64 Bit. I imagine my system is adequate for plenty of learning, but would appreciate comments on what will eventually be needed. Especially, can I get by with more memory, and maybe a second GPU. And, should I expect to need the Pro version of 3D-Coat? 2nd question: Hope it's OK to ask this, but are the 'Adam Gibson' tutorials a pretty good resource for learning?
