brutushayesosu Posted October 17, 2006 Share Posted October 17, 2006 I plan on upgrading my computer in the coming days. I plan on getting these items. sound blaster x-fi platinum (from bestbuy $125) Dell E207WFP (releasing 10-17 $289, using dell account) specs: 1680x1050 widescreen resolution, DVI with HDCP, and a 5ms response time Logitech Z-5500 speakers (off ebay) My plan is to sell my current monitor dell e173fp,current altec lansing 5.1 251 speakers , and my old graphics card radeon x600se over ebay to pay for the speakers. I already have $110 on my paypal so I should have enough (at least $100 for monitor, $50 for speakers, and $40 for card is what Im estimating) Question is: Does this sound like a good plan? I have to see if the sound card is still available at the Best Buys around here. (5 or so around Columbus, OH) Does anyone here own the sound card with I/O and the speakers? If so, do you recommend them? Or if there's another route I should take let me know your thoughts. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kccitystar Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 I never buy computer parts from popular stores. The way they hustle me out of my money is ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brutushayesosu Posted October 19, 2006 Author Share Posted October 19, 2006 Well I bought the soundcard already. $125! Newegg and TigerDirect are selling them for $179. I dont know why the platnium is cheaper than the regular version at BB, but it was. Maybe they are way overstocked? Anyways, if anyone needs a pretty nice sound card I would check out your local BestBuy. They are soldout at their site. The I/O module has in opticla input and output so if you have a nice receiver and speakers you can have a pretty nice setup. Still trying to find a coupon code for the 20" ws dell monitor. You can get a 20% off somewhere so it'll cost $231. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
