Worst advice you could possibly give to a Houdini novice, especially someone who's going for a UX workflow of all things. What's the point of this post?

I would second what Siavash said, heard nothing but good things about houdini-course.com.

Why are you rendering with Mantra? Use Karma unless you really need VEX shaders.

I would assume that anything that uses the GPU stands to benefit from a more powerful one. What that means in real-life, practical terms is difficult to say. How hard will you be pushing Houdini?
