Once again, mt brother has flip flopped on what he wants. He now wants to build for cheap. What he wants is to game at 1080p hopefully maxing out settings. The newest game he wants to play is Crysis 3 and Planetside 2 though. Go figure.

He also animates, big time. Drawing too.

Only issue is, his plan was to use Ubuntu along with an app that supposedly runs Windows programs. Is there such an application for Ubuntu? Otherwise, are drawing tablets made by Huion and Wacom supported, along with a drawing program? Are there any drawing programs!?

Sorry, I dont know much about Linux. But here is the build. Any feedback about it and my Ubuntu questions would help alot!

The rigs are good, actually very good. But instead of working with an app that runs windows programs, why not just work on windows os. But since the plan is really to run windows programs on ubuntu then i should recommend you to use Wine, its a great tool for ubuntu to run windows programs. Just download Wine and you will be satisfied.
