Hey Everyone!

I have a dilemna...sort of. I have been thinking about getting a new set of speakers, I had decided to get the Altec Lansing 641's. From reviews, these speakers were in one word...AWESOME. I have a fairly decent set of speakers now, but one speaker occasionally cuts out. I feel a new set of wires would correct this.

After thinking about for awhile, with all of the new games coming out, I only have a GF2 GTS w/32MB of DDR on it. It's a nice card that plays games quite well, but its time is surely passing rapidly.

I can't afford a GF4 (nor will I pay $400 for a video card). I have been looking at GF3's. But those are getting harder to find in my area with the GF4's out. While at CompUSA the other day, the ATI Radeon 8500 LE w/128MB of DDR caught my eye. After reading the reviews, I have come to the determination that this card is VERY similar to a GF3 Ti500. I pretty much have been swayed towards getting the card, but wanted to run it by everyone first. Which would you get? The video card or the speakers?

Thanks in advance for your input.
