instead of making a new thread i'll just bump this one with this deal I found.

http://www.canadacomputers.com/product_info.php?item_id=039806

GTX 560 @ $10 (ten dollars). 95% off

how in the world did that deal happen

Wow. A 560 for $10? Get two, and you've got yourself a setup with about 18% more power than a 580.

Although,

i called my local canada computers in ottawa and all of them are sold, apparently ppl were coming by the dozens to get them.

well, anyone have any speaker suggestions?

I bought these and I really enjoyed them

Since your mostly going to be listening to music, in my opinion you might as well stick to 2.1 instead of 5.1. Unless your using it for games/mostly movies 5.1 in my opinion is a little over kill. I'm currently running my logitech Z-5500 and its used mostly for music. Funny thing about that system, is that I only have the 2 fronts working an the 10" sub. I could have bought a smaller system, but hey having a bigger sub adds that extra bass LOL! Anyways two systems you can test at your local dealer probably at best buy or maybe frys is the Klipsch Promedia 2.1 or the Logitech Z-623. Newegg is a great site, but at times even ebay got some great deals as well. While searching on ebay, also check out these discontinued models Logitech Z-2300, Klipsch iFi, Logitech Z-680, Logitech Z-560. All great systems before they discontinued it :/. Anyways good luck!

the ones decimate posted are really good as long as you have an equalizer.
