If sound quality means anything to you, I would at least get a 2.1 speaker system (two speakers and a subwoofer). You can get decent 2.1 systems for under $100, so it won't be a major splurge. If sound isn't important, then of course you're fine with the speakers you chose.

those speakers are just for normal computer use. the headphones are for gaming. i may change my mind and change the sound set up tho.

How much is the ram?

I might look into buying some better ram depending on the cost. I might want to go with Geil or something with heat spredders.

I love my MX700 and Elite keyboard...absolutely no lag experienced, and they work wonderfully in games [at least for me]. Also, how's it a battery hog? It comes with a charger.

TomaHawk47x, if you do get the cordless keyboard and mouse, you should opt for the Cordless MX Duo and not buy the items seperately.

Just my $0.02

If you aren't going to be using the speakers often I would just get the headphones and spend the extra money to get a 9800 pro. If this is a gaming rig you'll benefit quite a bit more with the pro than with the speakers.
