Got $130 at Best Buy, what to get?

[Dalamari]

Title says it all

I have a Athlon 2800+ XP, 512 DDR, ATI Radeon 9800 256mb, a good mouse/keyboard combo which I am happy with, only a 3 speaker system that crackles a lot, and a refurbished E-machines 17" monitor. I have all the music I need, although I could use some DVDs and maybe some games, recommend stuff that Best Buy carries that I can get in the $0-$130 range.

Well, you have a pretty balanced system right now. I'd put it towards a new computer down the line. Or maybe something that will last a few years, like put it towards a 21" monitor. Assuming you can add stuff to it.

Just remembered I got $40 from my grandparents today, so $170 actually to spend...

Worth every penny.

That is, if you enjoy the movies...a lot.

I just got mine today. It's superbly amazing of how much stuff they crammed into this collection. I mean, 10 DVD's!

Watch this.

I'm not much of a matrix fan tbh

Here is what I plan to get so far in order of what I will get first

-Another 512 stick of RAM, maybe 2 if money permits
-New speakers or monitor
-Caddyshack (best movie ever)
-Houses of the Holy - Led Zeppelin

Other than that I am clueless

EDIT:
Also I have an intel D845GEBV2 mobo with on board sound, will I need a sound card to get surround sound?

Get me something.

I'm sure you have a nice speaker setup with that system but get some surround sound headphones. I have 5.1 on my nice computer and I still prefer these babies, they're very clear and crisp and work great.

If you like DVDs, don't forget about LOTR:ROTK Extended Edition. My friend has it and the 50+ minutes really add ALOT to the movie.

Just some suggestions.

 

[Dalamari]

Ok, speakers are on my list, more ram for sure so I can up to 1 gig, and prolly get a cd with what is left

Oh, and bumpage
