Well, Its just a maybe. I have an old 200watt aiwa home stereo hooked up to my computer right now and its got excellent quality, plus, I got it for 25 dollars. so until that quits, I'm happy.
Even the best PC speakers don't really sound that good compared to regular speakers and a decent receiver. For instance, even the best Logitech sets lack a proper high-range driver and the satellites can't produce great midrange, either. The result is unbalanced sound with too much bass, due to the subwoofer overpowering everything.
I picked up a Yamaha HTR-6030 receiver and some Infinity TSS-450 speakers to get started, the speakers are a bit cheap and lack the lower range I want, but they're cheap so I don't feel bad about upgrading them later on. They still sound much better than the Logitech Z-2200s did.

^ You're proving my point. Even at the higher end of the spectrum, PC speakers are junk.
They have the same subwoofer and drivers. More of the same equipment doesn't equal better sound.
Maybe a little thumpy in the bass department, but hey, since when is that a bad thing?

while im at it, im thinking of installing a liquidcooling system in my pc, any suggestions?
Yeah, my suggestion is don't.
Water cooling is HIGHLY overrated IMO. It can't cool much better than air as it's reliant on the room temperature still and creates a HUGE risk if something fails (bye bye computer!). The only advantage is that it can be quieter, although I have all my fans spinning nearly off and while the CPU is a bit warm at 43C idle, who cares? It's damn quiet (can't hear it) and well within heat margins for the chip.
thats what i heard as well, but my main reason is to reduce the noise level. The CPU sits on 40c something during max load so im happy with that.
