Them logitech speakers are nice Z640s are a nice set too. A comment about the 6600GT ... be aware that 6600GTs have HS-setting problems (which lead to potential heat issues)

It means your 6600GT may overheat. A bit of reading has me noting that the MSI one is the most likely contender for overheating problems. Of course that was a few weeks back they might have had it fixed
