Right ladies and gentlemen

To save me from being bought a load of tat for Christmas advise me on my next upgrade. My long suffering other half came up trumps last year buying me a I5 -750 for Christmas after our Tom gave her some decent advice.

recent years saw me opening my prezzies with fear and loathing due to some horrendous choices - Richard Hammond My story anyone?, the obligatory socks and boxer shorts, Jack daniels glasses ( with no bloody JD to put in them! ) the list goes on.

So this year I'm looking for another PC upgrade. Thinking along the lines of a SSD or new speaker setup.

My rig spec is in my sig for you to peruse.

Over to you ... oh and Tom enter stage left

Do me proud!!!

Some kickass speakers and amp to blast out the slade! It's CHRISTMAS!!! That would be annoying.

I got a 'proper' amp and bookshelf speaker setup a year and a bit ago and I can say I'm NEVER going back to any PC speakers. Even those who think their logitech 35657.1 setups are good, they haven't heard anything yet.
