If you want to save money on speakers, go with headphones.

I'm guessing you are planning on using the PSU that comes with your Raidmax case, and that might not be a good idea according to the power supply guide. Raidmax is on the bad portion of that list so you might want to invest in a 420 watt thermaltake like this one. Having a good power supply can be vital to the well being of your computer.
