I'm just kidding around man, if you don't want to spend anymore on speakers, that's perfectly fine.
If you don't listen to speakers a whole lot or don't plan on using your computer all that much, I'd say don't bother.
I'm of the opinion though that a quality set of speakers is a much better investment than most computer components. In 2 years, most of your system is going to be pretty out of date, but your set of speakers should be chugging along just fine.
My first set of decent speakers were Logitech z-560s and I had them for 3 years. I paid $140 for them and sold them for $100 after 3 years of use.
Spending $350 on a set of speakers is going to hold its value a lot better than a $350 videocard.
Over the last year I've kind of gone nuts on my audio equipment, but this is something I really enjoy.
You pretty much get what you pay for (with a few exceptions). I think most people you talk to would think you're insane for spending more than $100 on a set of computer speakers, so I know it's not for everyone. I've spend 30 times that and I don't regret it.
If you give me a budget I can make some suggestions (as I'm sure a bunch of other people would be willing to do too).
I know I've gone overboard on my own stuff, but seeing a $1400 computer config and a $70 speaker set kind of frustrates me. I mean going from $150 CPU to a $250 CPU is a jump in performance, but if you spend that $100 towards your speaker budget, you would surely notice a difference. I think a great display and a great sound system can really make a system. A couple years from now, the inside of your computer isn't going to be so cool, but a nice display and speakers should last you a long time.
Ok, I'm done
