Xmas budget £200?

atmax1 · 15 Dec 2011 at 21:36

Hey guys, my mum and dad said they gonna give me £200 to get something for xmas so wanted to ask you guys what you think i should get with it as they want to get me something.

My Rig
i7 2600k // H60 Cooling // 16GB Muskin Ram // 2x EVGA 560TI in SLI // 850w Corsair PSU // 120gb Corsair SSD - 80GB intel SSD // 2x1tb Samsungs // 22" Dell Monitor

Tv setup etc
42" panasonic 3DTV // xbox 360 // ps3 // Denon AVR-1910 Receaver

I was thinking maybe buy a sound card and ask them to get me them corsair speakers? When i play games on the pc i use a headset and I mostly listen to youtube and music on the speakers so is there rly good speakers thats cheaper and maybe get a soundcard and speakers? I would want a good looking sound card as it will be on show at the top of the card and would have to be pci-e 1x card?

Maybe some speakers for my tv? I use for xbox and watch movies but are there anything good for £200?

What do you guys think? maybe a 24" monitor? I do web design so would need one that handle colours well.

Xonar DG 5.1 and Corsair SP-2500. Will blow you away

Thank you Shayper, I cant use the Xonar DG 5.1 as I need a pci-e 1x slot so maybe put money towords it and get a Asus Xonar D2X 7.1? Would I get a huge diffrence with a sound card?
*** edit *** your youtube link in sig dont work

Both of the boards that I've used a sound card with (MSi P55-GD65 and ASRock Z68 Extreme4) have had a noticeable sound quality difference compared to a soundcard. If you are going with those speakers (I have the 2200 but hoping to get the full fledged version soon) I would definitely recommend getting a sound card

Cool

let me know how much damage you can do to your house with those speakers

With my SP2200 playing Dubstep I can usually get the room shaking

Daymn, I have the logitech X-540s, never quite gets the room shaking even with the sub maxed out.

I'm seriously considering an investment in some new speakers
