Just wanted to introduce myself on these boards.

I'm 22 years old.

Male

Die hard Atlanta Falcons fan.

Recently built a gaming rig over the summer consisting of Intel I7 3700K cpu, Asus Sabertooth z77 motherboard, hyper 212 evo cpu heatsink and fan, cm storm trooper case, 120 gb SSD, and 1 tb western digital black hdd, Lg Blu ray drive, 16 gb corsair vengence ram (2x8gb), 1000w corsair power supply gold rated (forget which one), EVGA gtx 560 ti 2gb graphics card, I think that about covers everything. Looks sexy. pictures below of my setup.

Hey njdirtybird7 !

Welcome to PCWorld Community.

Really nice setup. Especially love those Klipsch 2.1 on your desk.
I can't game without them either.

Enjoy your time with us.

Thank you guys.

Got the chair at best buy.

And yeah I love the klipsch 2.1 for computer speakers but they still don't compare to my home theater setup (Hence the reason why I have a 25ft HDMI running to my Denon receiver). When I get the opportunity I'll post my home theater system for you guys.

I joined to learn more about computers hardware and operating, as the rig I showed you was my first build.

Very nice first build. The one in my signature is my first build and I am quite pleased with it. Think I'll look into those klipsh 2.1 speakers as I am using the Gateway Speakers when not using my headphones. :D

You have a nice setup yourself. I wish I had that graphics card. Couldn't afford it at the time.

When I did the build, I moved the EVGA GTX 560Ti I had in the Gateway over to it. I didn't get GTX 680 until late May or eary June I think.

Coastie !

Don't just look at them, get a set. They are not expensive but, the sound will blow you away when gaming.
Just make sure your Mom has her head phones on otherwise, she might just not like those
Klipsch as much as you will.

FWIW, it appears those speakers might be discontinued. Definitely not available through NewEgg and limited "third parties" through Amazon.

This might be a new version:

At least one of the seller appears to be directly from Klipsch.
