when i want good quality audio out of my laptop or desktop, i just run a stereo -> RCA cable from my headphone jack to the back of my 5.1 receiver... so now i can use my pc with my home theatre system..
i dunno your budget.. but i set myself up with components from kenwood and sony for about $600 including a set of massive floor speakers.. i dont recommend any speaker sets that come "out-of-the-box"... from my experience, they just dont have the quality.. plus you can't upgrade nor resell..
if your receiver is in a far different room than your pc there is an awesome product called the "soundbridge" by roku that lets you stream audio wirelessly from your pc to your sound system.. even lets you manipulate your music library from that room with its remote control.. check it out at futureshop
