I know bose get a lot of flack, but the guy is just looking for a decent sound for his PC, the thing i listed produces great sound. His environment will be more detrimental than what brand of kit he's using as long as it's decent enough. That said though..:

Minx | Cambridge Audio UK

Minx redefines what’s possible from compact speakers. Each model is discreet in form and style, yet all produce a sound normally associated with much bigger speakers.The award-winning Minx series is now in its 3rd generation. Evolved with new speaker drivers, and an even more subtle look.Minx...

I had minx in mind but couldn't remember the name of them. They are pretty neat, I trialled some out a few years ago and wasn't that impressed but I was comparing to decent hifi at the time. I got that small bose system for £100 s/h a while back with a sonos thrown in. Minx are overpriced for what they produce imo, but absolutely could be the solution. 100% Needs the sub though.

Anyway the main point is sub sat system seems no brainer for this set up. (nearfield listening with no space for placement or sound to breathe) regardless of type or brand.

I use a Fosi BT20A-Black myself, sounds excellent though a dedicated switch between Bluetooth and Aux-In wouldn't go amiss! I have to turn off my bluetooth on my phone if I want PC audio and it isn't always right next to me.

You'll get plenty of bass up close with some bookshelf speakers but you'll still need to wall/stand mount to fit in that area.
 
Kanto Yu 2 I had the same with little space on my desk and they are great with the angled stands too to really fire the audio directly to your ears
 
Edifier M60? possibly put them on thier side (they are about 7" tall).

I had some bother with them initially, (overblown bass) but a firmware updates resolved it.. seriously impressive speakers for the size & price.

Kef have made kef eggs over the years 3000 series

Also m&k k series although these are 4ohm so bit of a tricky load for a cheap amp

Yeah I've got KEF eggs on my work and bedroom setups, no real bass to them but still decent - I got a set of five (a bit scuffed in places) for around £50 on t'bay and they pair great with a little D class 50W amp :) They won't blow your socks off but I think you'd be hard pressed to find much better for the size.

HK soundsticks aren't awful either (with the sub doing the heavy lifting!)
