Hi all
I'm looking into buying both a new monitor and sound system for my PC.
Firstly, I think I'll be running off onboard sound on my ASUS Z87-A mobo - should I get an external amp? I've not used the onboard sound before so anyone with experience with this mobo please weigh in. I doubt I'll be buying a internal sound card though. Too much noise even on 'shielded' cards.
Secondly, what speaker system should I get? I've looked at a few creative and logitech ones already, and I'd rather not spend much over £50. But I have no idea whether or not 2.1 or 5.1 surround is best for gaming - I really don't know a thing about audio, if I'm honest. So guys, please give me advice! Oh and no I won't use a headset/pair of headphones, I prefer to game with nothing on my head (yes that also includes hats), so speakers please!
