Well the speakers don't seem horrible, and I think Cambridge Soundworks makes some of the Creative Labs speaker systems. This is a review of the Creative Inspire T7900 7.1 Speakers. They seem ok for games and watching movies on your pc, but not that good for music. It is worth checking out what Altec Lansing has to offer. Speakers are something you should listen to before buying if possible.
Watch out for that onboard audio. Quite often they are cpu hogs because they don't have a very powerful hardward sound chip. I don't know if that's the case with that motherboard. Turtle Beach makes good quality soundcards, although it looks like their selection is limited to two cards right now, but one is a 7.1 card.
A 360W power supply may not be powerful enough for a typical computer system of today.

_________Designed to match Original STW gameplay.
Beta 8 + Beta 8.1 patch + New Maps + Sound add-on + Castles 2
I am going to change the speakers to normal simple things.
Good idea.Originally Posted by The_Doctor
Its pointless to have many small cheap and poor quality speakers instead of fewer and better quality units.
I have looked around on another website and have updated the system. The main changes are a less powerful CPU and graphics card.

It still needs speakers and software.
About the graphics card, it is SLi, so I am correct in thinking that I can add another one of same type when I need to?
Tomshardware.com did a big review of 19' LCD screens. It said the Samsung 930B had "lackluster performance". You might want to read up on it. For my part, I'm still pushing Viewsonic VX922, What kind of a price can you get on that?Originally Posted by The_Doctor
If your MB is an SLI MB, and your video card can run SLI, then you can have a second as long as it it exactly the same card.

£216 to £252. I might go for that one.What kind of a price can you get on that?
I agree about Samsung 930BF. That's why I wrote Samsung 940BF. It is better and newer model. Much better. It's just little expensive than 930BF but it worth.Originally Posted by Beirut

To tell you the truth, I have absolutly no idea.Why you need SLi system?
I need to build this PC in about 2 months.Next year, for the less money you will can buy much better and faster graphics card.
