Which set up would be better?

[2dvh]

So i'm trying to replace my old logitech z2300 speakers with something a better.
Mainly I will be using the new setup for games and music, with some TV shows and movies here and there.
 
So far, i've kinda narrowed my choices to this:
 

1. Dayton audio 12" Subwoofer $109 from parts-express.com
2. Micca MB42X Bookshelf Speakers $79.95 from Amazon
3. LP-2020A+ Lepai Tripath Class $20 from Amazon

And obviously some speaker wire, thinking 16 gauge but not sure about that or the price.
 
 
So that setup would come to around 220-ish dollar counting the speaker wire.
 
Or I could get the Swan M50w for around the same price.
 
My question is, which setup would sound better overall?
 
Or is there a better setup for the price?

Check out the Monoprice 5" studio monitors, they seem to be rebranded M-Audio BX5s.
Normally $165, on sale today for $124.34

I've been using them for a few weeks now, no complains.

That is just a little out of my price range if you add everything else.
 
But between the 2 sets I posted, what would be better?
 
The only problem with the first set up is that it would take around 10 business days to ship.
 
EDIT:I can also drop the sub down ton 8" for the first setup, I think 12" might overwhelm the speakers.

Skip getting the sub-woofer.
