So I just got the parts for my new HTPC (literally they were delivered 20 minutes ago to my office) and I would like to get thoughts on my purchase choices. I know I probly went overboard on the RAM but this machine is also going to be a gaming server for my LAN group. So I wanted/could afford the extra RAM.
Mobo: GIGABYTE GA-MA78GPM-DS2H

Processor: AMD Athlon X2 4450e 2.3GHz
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819103256
RAM: A-DATA 4GB (2 x 2GB)

I also would like some suggestions for speakers to add to my HTPC. Right now audio is just being played through the TV speakers and I would like to get a 5.1 system to go w/ it. Here's the set I'm looking at:
Logitech X-530

I'd like to avoid spending more than $100 on speakers but any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
