if you got room for an amplifier and home theater bookshelf speakers you can go that route. Probably overkill though. You can get good used speakers on craigslist for pretty cheap. Unlike other technology, old speakers hold their ground over years. I just picked up some used infinities for...

WoW question

Their is a fairly large problem with a shadowpriest and warlock combo. You're grinding will be inefficient because of both's dependence on dot spells. Most creeps will die faster than the full duration of your dot spells. This will make damage/mana efficiency low.

A solid, safe OC for my system?

I've read somewhere on some forums that your powersupply has issues and they crap out. This might explain why it's $30 AR (or is it $40) at Frys. You should do a search to make sure that your PSU won't take out your other equipment with it if it does go out.
