Thanks for the advice. I'll look into the speaker upgrade. I haven't been much of an audiophile...these are 7.1 so I'm sure I won't notice much of a difference between them and a $300 set...but I'll look into it nonetheless.

Once I have it completed, I'll post some benchmarks. Where do I get the software to run benchmarks?

Also: where would I get a better powersupply? I've noticed that 600W is about the largest around. Is there something better than 550?
