Get an x800XL or an x800XT/x850XT if you get a good deal.
Speakers, I suggest the Z-5500 Digital from Logitech and an Audigy2 ZS.

Sound Card: <a target=_blank class=ftalternatingbarlinklarge href="http://www.zipzoomfly.com/jsp/ProductDetail.jsp?ProductCode=290223">Sound Blaster Audigy2 ZS $64.99 after rebate.
</a>
Speakers: Logitech Z-5300e $79.99 after rebate.

These are vary good deals I'm thinking about doing this while it?s still availably.
Use the extra $100 on the Monitor and get a Dell UltraSharp 2005FPW when it goes on sell again (should one more time before the end of the summer) and grab it for $400.
