Your most noticeable & also cheapest way to upgrade your audio would be to get a Sound Blaster X-Fi card.
Lucky for you, the TOP OF THE LINE, Cadillac of sound cards has a $50 rebate this very moment.

Not only will this card put out crystal clear audio in surround sound w/ EAX it should actually increase your FPS by reducing both memory load & CPU load.
So yeah I'm just trying to politely say that this post is not interesting but good luck with your rig.
Now if I can give my 0.02$ about speakers, don't look for computer specific speakers, just hunt for a good receiver and set of book shelves speakers. I recommend the Sony SS-LA500ED that's what I have with the subwoofer, years ago that costed me nearly 2000$ (a bit overpriced) but you could get your hands on a used set for a good price now.
an amp & expensive speakers wont fix the fact that on board sound is muddled compared to a good sound card. it would be like racing a top fuel car on regular gas.
