OK I need a bit of help with this as its a first for me. I've just built a new PC for the study and am thinking of wiring up a surround system with speakers mounted in corners of the room. If all goes well I'll do something similar for the TV in the main room.

For the study, I'm thinking of getting the Z-5500

I have an Asus P5Q-E mobo - will the onboard sound be good enough or should I upgrade? The PC will be used mostly for gaming but also a bit of movies/music.

For the main room I would get an amp and maybe some Bose speakers:

Does anyone have any recommendations for the a mid-range amp? I'd be plugging the Freeview box and DVD/Blueray into it.

Thanks!
 
Can you recommend something or even a brand? My speaker knowledge is thin. The reason I though Bose was that my dad has a two satellite and sub setup and the sound is amazing. I'd probably prefer surround but only if it wasn't way more expensive.
 
The budget is flexible but ideally it would be less than £500 for the lot. If there was something really nice for more I'd consider it. As for space, there is room to hide a mid sized sub and I'd like fairly small satellites to mount around the room. I'd run the cables through the ceiling to the amp which would go under the tv.
