Worth it to get decent speakers with a cheap sound card?

[Iron Goldfish]

At the moment I'm just using cheap Logitech speakers with onboard sound. I'm getting a cheap sound card (this one: http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=SC-040-CL) because I hear it'll make things run a little smoother than with onboard sound.

I have about £60 to spend on a Christmas present for myself and I was thinking of getting some decent-ish speakers (these: http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=SP-032-LG).

Worth it? Or would the cheap sound card make the speakers a little redundant? I can't really afford to get an expensive sound card aswell...

Thanks for the help. I've thought about it and, remembering that I get paid next week , I might spend a little more on a sound card if it's going to be worth it. I use my PC for gaming, music and watching DVDs, so I'm looking for something that can do all those decently.

So what do you suggest? I'm looking to spend around £50.

Alright, think I'll go for the M-Audio and Aego M 2.1. Thanks for the help.

I've never actually used a mic, so that shouldn't be too much of a problem. Though if I do end up using one in future, are USB mics any good?

Right, I have the sound card and it's all installed and everything. I was wondering if I could connect my current speakers to it to try it out (can't have my new speakers til Christmas ) . They only have the green plug thingy though. Is it possible, or shall I just wait another 7 days?
