Additional: Will buy two more fans possibly, or water cooling later on. Temps are good, but I want to overclock, CPU limits me, no mobo. Relubed CPU, and GPU, removed shroud from video card, and basically everything as cooler friendly as possible. Wanting Logictech Z 5000's if have room for them. Using as Gaming, Homework, Surfing, HTPC a bit, and PS3, but I need sound card or speakers with optical in, my onboard doesnt have it to run ps3 sound through.

I would have posted sooner, but I had made a huge post about a work log I had done for funzies, but it was too long. Thought it would have been helpful, and humorous.

Question,
I have Vista 32bit, or accident and not 64bit, will I be able to play the DX10 games like Darkfall, AOC, warhammer? etc.?

You can use the component out for the PS3 just for the sound - run this through a jack converter from 2-1 and plug it into your PC or speakers, like this one:

I did that, but the sound isn't 5.1 supported that way unless in matrix mode, which is virtual 5.1 and sounds like crap. I will just buy new speakers, or a sound card.
