i am going to upgrade speakers soon when i build my new comp. i am mostly gonna be using them for music and games....so should i even mess w/ 7.1 surround speakers...or should i just go for a nice 2.1 set w/ a woofer....

a 7.1 sound card is fairly expensive. Most onboard sound cards now days have at least 5.1 compatability and decent 5.1 speaker systems are fairly cheap. If you are very into music and gaming and there aren't any people around you that would be disturbed by lound music/games then go for a 5.1 system.

Go for a 2.1 or 5.1
like the logitech z-640's ($37 at amazon.com)
Also the 7.1 setup is a pain in the ass to install and too many wires

System Spec's:
Asus P4c800-E 3.2e @3.8ghz
1gb corsair xms pro2-2-2-5 aiw 9800 pro
audigy 2zs klipsch ultra's
74gb raptor wd 2000jb
pioneer 108 pioneer 120s
