hey guys and gals,
after a bit of advice on PC kit and what to buy as theres so much out there im struggling to find what i need!
basically i currently have a sony 32" Cathode ray TV with a digibox and DVD player linked up. all sound runs through a rotel stereo amp running a pair of 8" tannoy mercury speakers.
what im basically wanting to do is condense everything down, get rid of the DVD player and digi box and combine them into my PC. im also wanting to expand the audio side to include a second amp running a set of JBL control series speakers, wall mounted as a rear fill and eventually expand that further into a surround sound system. im not wanting to scrap the tannoys and go for one of these all in one systems as these are awesome speakers and have sentimental value.
so as far as im reconning i need -
TV out card - either one that has both a TV and monitor out or one that will work alongside the motherboard mounted graphics card running my monitor.
digi card - ive seen lots of ebuyer and places and cant work out which is best, preferably one with remote.
5.1 surround sound card - simple really, just need recommending one
budget wise im not looking to blow huge bucks on this, reliable kit for a reasonable price, ill buy it as the money comes along.
thanks for help everyone!
