Considering you have an audiophile soundcard I suggest you pick speakers in line with that.

A pair of entry level Yamaha HS5 should be perfect for you setup with a moderate budget.
I got the previous gen Yamaha 5" monitors and I must say, they perform really well (I use them to compose, and perform music).

I'm using active studio monitors and I love them.

Well if you just want to use your sound card, then you'll need powered speakers/monitors. Tigger's got some sweet ones!

Or you can choose a speaker amp from your STX and get some passive speakers.

You should be able to add a powered sub either way...though read the fine print, find reviews, and look at many pictures.

These are what I am using now, they are studio speakers.



Each speaker is exactly the same. I don't know the wattage.

They have Immedia broadcasting ltd on the back but I don't know any other details about them.

Thanks Guys for Reply!
Actually I am planning to make THE BEST COMPUTER IN TOWN.:D:D:D:D:D

But as my budget is not that good for speakers I will postpone the speakers buying.
I have some other local tower speakers.

Actually I was looking for a CPU 5.25"inch amplifier but I did not find it.

Currently I am concentrating with CPU . I have ordered 8 Enermax duo led fans, pc has remote for switch on/off as well as key to lock remote operation.

want to buy military swtich baybus,hot swap. Lets see.
below is my CPU

Thanks
