What would you do with 700? PC wise...
I thought about getting Lian Li V1200 and get Aqua-Computer's WC setup.

Any thoughts?
 
Your system looks good to me, Maybe save for a next gen upgrade or a new monitor. :D , Maybe............. what kinda monitor u have now
 
new PSU first off, i would be weary with that X-Connect. then you could up the anty to 2 gigs of ballistix. or maybe get a non-exos based watercooling setup. the Swiftech storm is rocking outloud now.

and no on the aquacomputer setup. theres sooo much better stuff going on now thats made for silence. 2 D5's, a quad heatercore by Weapon, a swifty storm, on a new Stasis GPU block, which are coming out in less then a month i hear, and will use jet impegignement like the Storm blocks use, would kill any aquacomputer setup. and you can use 7/16 tubing to make it look less bulky then 1/2.

Opps forgot to write my monitor. :p

It's Dell 2405FPW..
 
I might pick up a 7800GTX to take better advantage of that monitor.
 
I say get an Audigy 2, new Graphics card (or not), and a new mouse/keyboard/mousepad. Then save the rest.
 
I would go for a sweet surround sound setup, something like a denon receiver, 4-6 athena/polk/infinity/other good bookshelf speakers and a daton sub or something along those lines
 
I currently have Bose Companion 3 for my multimedia needs.

I might consider Denon setup as I hear they are quite good.

However,I don't think I can afford Denon speakers + receiver under 700..
 
New PSU (may I suggest the Antec Neopower?)
Sound Card (Audigy 2 series)
Lian-Li Case
Fans to with the Case
SATA II Hard Drives (3GBs, NCQ, all that crap)
 
my denon receiver was about $180 from ecost.com refurb section, and that daton sub is about $100 from parts express. that leaves $400 for speakers, which should be enough (i spent $45 for a pair of polk audio R-15 speakers from outpost and they sound really good.
