Hey guys,

Since there seem to be a lot of knowledgeable people here, I thought you'd be able to help me out with my component choices. I have roughly $2k to spend and I quickly put together a list of components that look alright to me. Please help me out with any compatibility issues that you see or any recommendations that you have. Thank you so much.

The list is as follows:

Case- Antec Nine Hundred Black Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case

Motherboard- ASUS P5N32-E SLI LGA 775 NVIDIA nForce 680i SLI ATX

Graphics Card
- PNY VCG88GTSXPB GeForce 8800GTS 640MB GDDR3 PCI Express x16 HDCP

Power Supply- OCZ GameXStream OCZ600GXSSLI ATX12V 600W

Processor
- Intel Core 2 Duo E6600 Conroe 2.4GHz LGA 775

RAM- Crucial Ballistix 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400)

Primary Hard Drive
- Western Digital Raptor WD1500ADFD 150GB 10,000 RPM SATA

Heatsink/CPU fan
- ZALMAN 9700 LED 110mm 2 Ball CPU Cooler

Speakers
- Logitech Z-5500 505 Watts 5.1

Stupid question... will these speakers still work even though my sound card supports 7.1?

*Note* I have some other components on hand that I will be using for the rest of the system.
