I would've put a bit more money into the speakers to be honest

I also would have dual booted xubuntu and Windows XP (64 bit versions because you have more than 3.6gb ram)

Anyway, good specs, nice price

Nah man, it's all about getting nice headphones

(you can get much nicer headphones for the price of semi-nice speakers)

 

What are some nice headphones?

That depends on how much you want to spend

 

As least as possible to get good quality for music,games and movies. No more than 100. I heard Bose was good.

 

Well.....Bose is okay-ish, but they're REALLY overpriced for what you get (their headphones and speakers).  They just advertise really effectively.

I'd look into Sennheiser, Audio Technica, or maybe even Koss or something if you're looking for some decent headphones.  From what I remember Sennheisers are usually good with all three, and koss probably is too (music, games, movies).  I don't know much about Audio Technica, but they're kinda sorta in that range if you can find a good deal and people seem to like them.  Just read a lot of reviews, and you'll be able to find out more or less what you want - that's how I came across mine (Beyerdynamic DT880's - awesome for all 3 of those but a little more than what you're willing to spend)

You could check these out.  If not those, maybe these or these.  If you can't find anything you think you'd really like, you can head to www.headfi.org , but if you go there be prepared to be convinced to spend 3x your current budget

 

Thanks
