Best 2.1 speakers for gaming for around £100

As title states need a new set of 2.1 speakers next week for gaming and was thinking of these http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=SP-000-AE&groupid=702&catid=22&subcat=173

I am not using a soundcard as my motherboard is http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MB-159-GI which has good sound and should be fine for these?

If anyone has any other suggestions for 2.1 speakers around this price then please give your views/experiences thanks.

Problem is my room is around 5 metres by 3.5 metres but my pc is in the corner which is quite far from the backwall.(i would say the pc chair is about 3-4 metres from it) I've never used a 5.1 system on it so i am not sure how the rear speakers sound would fair? also the wiring seems like it would get in the way and be awkward to tidy hence why i really want a 2.1 set.

Thanks for all replies so far, any more advice would be appreciated.

Thanks for the replies all, might actually go for the Logitech z-5500, these combined with an Asus Xonar 7.1 would be a great combo?

Anyone got experiences with this set?

After countless deciding decisions i went with the Logitech Z-2300 setup, looks like i've made a good choice and can't wait for them to arrive.

Thanks everyone for your input.
