I currently own an NF7-S Rev 2.0 so I quite happily have abused the optical out and its hooked up to my Creative Inspire 5500's Digital 5.1 setup.

Im *possibly* going to America over the summer and Im contemplating some sort of upgrade. After reading reviews on A64's and the latest gen gfx cards, Id get nothing useful out of an upgrade using them. Everything works just the way I like it on my current hardware.

Ive looked at my entire hardware situation, HDD's are fine, Optical drives are doing their job, ram.... cpu... gfx.... work fine for whatever i throw at them. FPS games just plain suck these days it seems. I could do with a new PSU i guess but I dont see the point until I change my entire system.

Im lost for things I can pick up cheap in America. Even if HM C&E decide to randomly charge me VAT (even though they should), Im most likely to get away with a cheaper deal.

Klipsch speakers arent available in the UK, or if they are... I havent found them. I know most people on here rate Klipsch to be the best speaker sets within the budget of an average PC-aholic. Whats the recommended Sound Card of Choice? Im not sure whether I want to look at Sound Cards at the moment. ID have to go PCI to use it now but ill be switching to PCI-E in the future and I want to keep this for quite a while.

Is it worth getting a set of Klipsch Digital 5.1's when I already have a set of Creative Digital 5.1's? Is the quality going to be that much better?
