I can finally place my order tonight and have everything decided on except the speakers. I'm looking at Logitech Z-5500 505 Watts 5.1 Speaker and JVC THD-50 Home Theater in a Box. The sound card I picked out is this one, which has optical out which I heard was much better sounding. I'm not sure if the logitech system can use that so I'm wondering if the HTIB will sound better. Help me out please so I can place my order before I go to sleep :D
 
Bleh I went ahead and placed my order, I chose the logitech, I read a lot of nice things about the sound card I picked the and 5500's with the optical cable included with the sound card. This is the rest of the stuff I got. Typically when stuff is shipped from NJ I get it in two days since I live in NYC, so I'm hoping to receive it all wednesday, if not probably thursday.
