Glen that was a really good price, I built a i7 with 8gig, 500meg hd ATI 7870 for around that. I'm looking at adding a surround sound card and speakers, researching cheap solutions.

I was limited to a pci express slot for my sound card (to run the buttkickers) given the limited slots on the asrock motherboard. I picked this up on sale for $59. Works great.

Glen, thanks I will look at that one, I did order the buttkicker gamer, should come next week.
What did you get for speakers? I've been looking for something small to mount around the rig.

I don't have surround sound yet... let me know what you come up with. I have a two-speaker set-up with a sub. I guess I just need to add rear speakers.

My only suggestion for a speaker system is to get one with adjustable bass on the system itself. I used to have a heck of a time switching games and dealing with the change in bass.

The Logitech z506 for $70 or the z906 for $330 (all prices Amazon) is what I have recommended with good results.

Finally got it all working! This is harder than it seems like it would be!! Are you supposed to get feedback through the wheel?
Thanks,
