hi buddy

Go for mx5021 as its sound quality is way better than the 6021.

The mx6021 was tested in dec 2009 edition of digit and they said the 5021 performed a lot better and are even cheaper costing around 6.8k.

What's your budget? If you are okay with bookshelf style speakers, go for m-audio studiophile av 40. It's a superb set but would cost above 10k. Also check

Audioengine AE2
Audioenging A5

whats your budget for soundcard. My suggestion would be ASUS Xonar DX (needs PCI-E X1 slot) or Creative X-Fi XtremeGamer (PCI slot). Both cost inside 5k.

Yeah! Bought Xonar DX 7.1 for 4.5K! One awesome product.
Btw, Extreme Music is no longer in production. Instead, the more pathetic Extreme Audio is available for 3.6K.

you need to get PCI slot based soundcard as your mobo doesn't have support for PCI-Express
