I was trying to hold out for upgrading my videocard, but refuse to pay over retail on the 5850's so think I'll wait for the southern Islands to come out.
So instead I am thinking about purchasing some decent 2.0 (2.1) powered speakers. Right now I am coming off some Logitech x-530.
I was looking at the M-Audio AV40, Swan D1080MkII08 and the Swan M10's. I mostly play movies/games/music. I'm just a little bit worried about moving to a 2.0 system, but then again my setup for my x530s suck anyway so I might not be able to tell the difference.
I could go up to around $200 and in that range was looking at the Audioengine A2's, but would prefer to save money if I can.
Also was wondering if I ended up with a 2.0 system and the bass wasn't enough if I could easily add in a powered sub. Currently using a X-Fi forte.
Any recommendations would be appreciated (as I know very little about this stuff)!
