Need advice on some good Gaming Speakers

I'll be getting a new pc soon (P4 2.2, GeForce 4 Ti 4400, Soundblaster Audigy Gamer). I'm looking to spend about $300 for some new Speakers. I play mostly racing and sports sims.
Any recommendations for that price range? I might be willing to spend more if it would greater improve my gaming experience.

Thanks in advance

Creative Inspire 5.1 Digital 5700. The digital capabilities are neat. I can hook up my DVD player or PS2 with the fiber optic cable. The system sounds good.

If you want the best, check out the Klipsch Promedia 4.1 or 5.1.

I have Klipsch as well, and won't have anything else in the near future, they're the best I've heard.

If you don't have 350 dollars to spend the 2.1s are a good deal at under 200 bucks.

For value and performance, I would reccomend Creative Inspire 5.1 5300 speakers. They have good bass and good surround capability, especially if you have an Audigy card. They are pretty good coming in at around $150CDN which is around $99USD.
