For around $100 (hopefully less) I would get a half decent 2.0 set.

Unless you really need to melt your face off with a bad subwoofer...

Edit: I bought a set of Creative Gigaworks T20's a few years ago. Upgraded since then, but I still pull them out regularly & they kick ass. Lacking a bit of bass at low volumes, but you can't get much better sound quality at their size/price. I'd be looking for something of their calibre.

For playing games on the computer a good 2.1 is highly recommend. Surround doenst help nearly as much in gaming as you might think.

I just got a Lepai amp and hooked up my old TV speakers. Sounds great and didnt cost me much.
