    Hi.. Im looking for a gaming pc with a bit of sound recording/editing on the side, I want something that will stay nippy for the next couple of years at least.
    I have an existing 2.0 set of amp and speakers and have never owned a 5.1 set, I also watch a lot of movies etc so 5.1 + please.

    silence would be a good thing for the case and fans as i may be using it as a home studio.

    I would like it to be upgradable in the future also.

    All help greatly appreciated, Cheers,
    Jamie.
