Thats everything

I would certainly favour a 2.1 speaker system over a 2.0 setup so you get the subwoofer.

You can overclock with the stock intel heatsink to around 4GHz±, add a bigger one later for a more.

Whats the PC to be used for?

Good price but a 5 watt sub don't seem worth it. Sure its better than the 2.0's?

Can be any 2.1 setup - http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=SP-122-CL&groupid=702&catid=22&subcat=1920

You need the bass driver for the low's.

Then my second spec with the 7850 is a better option, sort out what speakers you want, add a SSD later on.
