Time to get a good 5.1 speaker system for my pc

[wigster]

Ive been meaning to get a good sound system for my pc but something else has allways come first

Im after a decent 5.1 setup what sort of money am i looking at?

Even better what one would be good to get

I will be using the onboard sound for now,but eventually i will be getting a good sound card

Thanks

Ive been chatting to a mate and he is saying go for seperates, is that what everyone else does?

A cheap AV amp + seperates will blow a PC 5.1/HTIB 5.1 out of the water. It just depends on how far you want to go. New, the PC gaming audio setup I'm using would cost £1400. But because either they're spare, or already used in the HT, were given free, or picked up cheap to go from stereo with a stereo integrated amp to 5.1 plus better stereo amp , and a av amp cost £100.

5.1 gaming sounds superb.

B&W 601 fronts, CC6 centre, Yamaha DSP-A592 av amp, Arcam Alpha 9 stereo amp, Kef Coda 7 rears, SVS PC-Ultra 13 subwoofer

I think a av amp might be the way to go then

Would £200 get me a good av amp+speakers (I have no idea what one would be good)

EDIT:
My pc is in my bedroom and i have no hi-fi, so having a av amp would be good because in time i can add a cd player/tuner

EDIT AGAIN

Ive just been looking at the Yamaha AV61 looks pretty good and in the price range,what do you think?

I think ill be moving this over to the Home Cinema section
