    Well amazon typically raises their prices so the shipping is not exactly "free." ts factored into the price of the item. But if you come across any sites that have great prices and arent situated in cali, let me know. I was gonna buy most stuff from tigerdirect but they just did away with the...

    Well I live in Cali, so i don't want to pay loads of tax so i won''t be buying from newegg. Those deals don''t really apply.

    Ya I guess I'll do that then. i can get a good set of speakers and a good sound card for about the same price as one essence stx sound card. Sounds good. Only, if I get these speakers, I wont "need" a subwofer. They will have good highs and good bass?

    I am not "set" on anything and I realize that you are annoyed with all my questions but I am just trying to get what I need. And I don't want to spend more than $100-$150 on speakers, so if you guys dont think I need the best sound card for those speakers and a $50 card will suffice, then I will...

    Please check my i7 build

    Well what would you recommend as far as speakers to put this sound card to good use? If they aren't too much then I can get them right now.

    Please check my i7 build

    Ya I think I will go with the HAF, but the sound card. I would wait to get one, but when you are looking at high end sound cards they don't change that much. Not anything worth to sell my "old one" and rush right out to buy the new one. My friend built his computer four years ago and his sound...
