are you on a laptop? if so, then audioquest dragonfly would be a nice toy :D also, sound blaster has some nice usb sound cards...

depends on what you like more> cals have more bass, sennheiser has wider sound stage... ps> a sound card will always help the performance (and it is always recommended to get off integrated sound asap) pps> virtual surround is a marketing term. works like this>...

flac is lossless and big, mp3 is always lossy and small. if you download flac, and you want mp3, go here> http://free-flac-to-mp3-converter.software.informer.com/ download the program and it will make flac to mp3.

ASUSPRO PU551JH with 8gb ram, mate display and quadro k1100m should be somewhere around $1000 mark... if i remember correctly... also worth checking is hp zbook 15...

well,any better laptop will do, but you really might want to consider a laptop equipped with a quadro gpu :D

if you have a integrated sound card, then logitech z323 or creative t3300 if not, then aim for klipsch pro media 2.1 or m-audio av40...

for good audio you nee good source, good dac, good amp and good headphones... good audio means flac or at least 320kbps mp3, and decent sound card takes care of the dac and amp... so, something like asus xonar dg or dgx would be a great upgrade compared to any integrated sound card :D

my combo> avast/comodo/spybot... but the best and the most important part of security is always found between the chair and the keyboard :D

sennheiser pc360 or game zero...

well, avast is faster than default windows solution. source> http://www.av-comparatives.org/performance-tests/ also, you can check that site for even better antivirus solution than avast, if you like :D as for the rest - i run the exact combination on my portable typewriter (aspire switch 10)...

seriously, get a antivirus (like avast or something) and a decent wall'o'fyre (like comodo)... round it up with spybot s&d and you're fixed :D
