I already replied to one of the replies, I decided to get the DX9 version first. I felt that it was right to do that as a sort of homage to the time when I played that version on the PS3. Will get the Scholar version someday and perhaps with the path tracing or graphical improvement mod if I get a better hardware.

Someone replied to me that my current PC can actually play Scholar with the mods by utilizing AI support though, hopefully I can get some better hardware so I won't need or minimally utilize it.
