current system:
mobo: gigabyte ga-970a-ud3
cpu: amd 1090t 6 core, oc @ 4 ghz. (aftermarket massive cpu fan)
monitor: 23" asus vh238 1080p
case: cooler master haf 932
video card: amd 6850
sound card: blaster audigy se
speakers: generic 2.1 setup no name brand
looking for a pair of speakers 2.1 preferably. under $100
any recommendations? just want the best sound quality for gaming/music
(i do tend to like the type that have either the small circular volume control knob separate or in an easily accessible place)
thinking ill upgrade my video card to a hd 7870
probably one like this when it goes on sale again:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814150605
do you think this will be enough to get fps up to 60 avg on most games? (on max or really high settings, @1080p
my 6850 is a bit outdated, and i have to run skyrim on medium to keep the frame rate at 60.
loking to spend around $200 on a vid card.
mainly use my pc for gaming and watching hd movies, anyways the sound card i just picked up today
which is this one: http://www.amazon.com/Creative-Labs-SB0570L4-Blaster-Audigy/dp/B000LP0R3E/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1366184122&sr=8-2&keywords=sound+card
what im wodnering is, would it be worth the extra $20 to get this sound card?

would it make any difference with a 2.1 speaker system?
