You actually can get a headphone amp like the one that im getting on amazon for $25.

I wouldnt get a Seagate, this 80gb 7200rpm drive has sector errors all over the place, causes the BSOD a bunch too. Also, the 320gb seagate in my other pc makes akward noises often.

Download cpuz, it will tell you the socket

Even if you COULD buy a processor for the new socket that amd uses, it would still need a bios update, which is highly unlikely from Acer.

you can buy a used hd 4650 probably for the price of the hd 4350 when it is new.

I have had the z-2300s for a little less than a year. Very good bass, lacking in the highs though, not a big deal really for the $90 I paid on Amazon.

Here is a pro tip, grab a small towl, put it under the subwoofer. Trust me, it will kill an rattles coming from the casing, and it will sound alot better.

Oh wow, I just read through all of the parts you were wanting to buy, almost none of those are worth getting. The new phenom x2 costs like $120. Also, you DO NOT need a thermaltake power supply, just get a 550 watt corsair (best). Dont get an audio card just yet, not much of a difference unless your running a logitech z2300 or z5500 system. The onboard audio on motherboards is perfect compared to 5 years ago.

Also, you should just get gskill ram, dont spend the money on corsair. Change the video card to an nvidia 260gtx also. Buy some arctic cooling mx-2 thermal paste. Get this cpu cooler, its very good http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835233029

Instead of the 8800gtx, get the nvidia 260 gtx
