Maya 2020 fundamentals - modelling the real world
Get halfway through a model and find it's an unworkable mess? Can't add edge loops where you need them? Can't subdivide a mesh properly? If any of this sounds familiar check this course out.

Also modular or non-modular... modular means you can disconnect unneeded cables.
Efficiency, if that is important to you, look for an 80+ unit, with bronze, silver, and gold ratings.
Read buyers reviews, e.g. @ newegg.com
Hope that helps, and good luck!
As an example, I bought a Corsair HX750W modular PSU, with very high efficiency (>90%) 750W being more than enough for my needs. ~$200

Its better to just buy one really nice card.
If you want to game, then yes it would be better, as SLI / Crossfire setups will actually divide the workload of a game, I.E. for nvidia cards, one card is dedicated to rendering the game, the other would be dedicated to calculating the Physix engine if the game comes with one...
Maya doesn't take advantage of SLI / Crossfire, unfortunately, ( unless 2011 does? )
