Sound System for my room

[Da_Duck]

Hey, I'm pretty new to audio systems and am looking for a 5.1 speaker setup. I'd much rather research a bit and get my money's worth, rather than wasting it on some poorly built system. My plan is to hook it up to my computer. I'm outputting sound from a Creative Sound Blaster SB0570 Audigy SE. My budget is about $250. My questions are, is the sound card going to work for a 5.1 system and what kind of designs, brands should I be looking for? Thanks for all the help in advance!

Hey, i am afraid this might be the wrong forum for this question so i posted it in the "General" forum. Thanks, and sorry.

for $250 you're going to have a hard time putting together something. your best bet is probably some really good computer speakers or a home theatre in a box.
