Hi, I know these forums are flooded with this question all the time, I have read many of them but I would like some advice more specific to my situation. Hopefully someone with experience can give me some advice. I am an audio noob.
My sound card is an Auzentech Forte 7.1. I'm looking to spend no more than 300$ for two satellites and a sub, it must be a 2.1 system. Speakers will be primarily used for games and music.
My Ideas:
1. The Swan M50W, this looks like a good set and its all one package.

2. Getting two satellites and a sub separately. Now this option has me a bit concerned because I don't know how/ if the speakers will be able to be easily hooked up to my sound card if I went this route.
I was thinking of the Swan D1080MkII08 http://www.theaudioinsider.com/product_info.php?p=swan-d1080mkii08&products_id=161
with Polk Audio Monitor Series PSW10 10-Inch Powered Subwoofer http://www.amazon.com/Polk-Audio-Monitor-10-Inch-Subwoofer/dp/B00030CHQ2/ref=sr_1_20?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1297432104&sr=1-20
although the sub seems a little weak-sauce at 50 watts.
3. No Idea how good this set up is but I like thats it all in one package and has pretty good reviews(though I don't know how reliable the are). Corsair SP2500 2.1 speaker set.

Anyhow, suggestions would be great. Thanks in advance!
