suddenly decided i must have surround on my PC,

I don't anything amazing, I could blow £200 (more if i wanted) but i'm a tight ass so want to spend as little as possible,

Is there a down side to using the logitech via blue tooth? do i need a sound card, is there a better go to speaker system around the same price,
 
Bluetooth tends to add latency, besides using lossy compression.
And even worser Bluetooth is limited to stereo sound...
Which would be OK for music, but instead of gaming speaker sets you would want active monitor speakers for better sound quality.

As for need of sound card there might not be much need, if motherboard's integrated Realtek doesn't suffer from EMI.
Such multimedia speakers certainly aren't the most acurate and then room acoustics (/lack of it) further affects the sound.
It's headphone use in which separate sound card has more benefits like providing binaural sound simulation.

If your head shape is close to average, good headphones and HRTF are actually good and affordable way to get to good level of immersion.
(of couse headphones can't match subwooder in bass)

thanks for the reply, head phones are out I'd never use them, comments about latency in BT put me off that idea
