What are opinions of best Soundcard and speaker combination?...I'm not a music aficionado. I want best sound for gaming...COD, ROF, COD(the other one)MW3, Battlefield3

Any advice will be appreciated.

I'm going to wait . . . with this game improving, and current stuff only getting cheaper its better. Also the talk of the sequel seems to lend itself to waiting . . .

a psu works most effektive at 85 to 90% load.
one would be surprised how many "hardware" issues are related to a PSU that is under powered.

Especially if you've got world class audio / video cards and lots of USB toys

No.

I'm content with things as they are.
Maybe when the 7xxx AMD cards come out, I'll be tempted to upgrade the GPU. We'll see.

No new rig for me, albeit maybe a GTX580 as upgrade.

On-board sound is perfectly fine. The only people that would notice a difference are "music aficionados" with very expensive speakers or headphones. Unless your motherboard is from 1997 you don't have to worry about crappy sound. As for speakers, you need to first determine what you want to pay, then go to a big-box store where they have a lot of models being demoed and give them a listen.

Having a system that can run todays Sims like ...ROF, A10C and CLOD is one thing...

Having the CLOD developers correct the problems so it will run/perform smoothly without bugs is another....

If they improve CLOD performance with the new graphics and sound ...that will be great...

but CLOD has some inherent performance problems where resolution of those problems may be a long time out....

At this point.....do not expect a that new or high end system will solve your CLOD problems...it will not.

Myself? I just like new toys and I will upgrade and buy new stuff...just cuz it puts the wind beneath my wings
