For the past couple of years I have been getting into graphic design. I have hosted a couple NHL Online Leagues over Xbox Live and make a website using Gimp 2 for the PC. I recently purchased a Mac and have been looking to buy some type of graphics design software to do it on the mac. Does anyone know of some good cheap software I could buy off Ebay or something?

You can probably buy a student copy.

Gimp and Photoshop are almost the same, anyway.

And Photoshop is available on Windows and Mac.

Photoshop is awesome for digital artwork and for digital rendering I use Cinema 4D. The demo to Cinema 4D is free and the only limitation to the demo is you can't save, no time limitation or anything. I found a way around this by just taking screenshots (ctrl+print) and pasting them in Paint.

Definitely. Just make sure your computer can handle the performance on its features

It should be able to. My desktop can't even run WoW, but it runs CS3 smoothly.
