Recommendation on new setup!

[aznpxdd]

I'm planning on putting together new speaker/sound setup for my apartment next year and want some advices. This is going to be mainly for games and music, and I want to buy the parts separately instead of buying a set of speakers (ex. Logitech Z-5500's). Pretty much I want the setup for 50% music, 40% games and 10% movies.

I heard it's best to start off with 2.1 speakers with reciever, but since I not too into audio, I'm not too familiar with which speakers are good. Also, I'm planning on getting a new soundcard, probably a X-Fi XtremeMusic, so I want to make sure the reciever can be hooked up to it.

Don't really have a budget, just want to hear some recommendations with reasonable prices.

Any ideas and recommendation would be apprecaited.

...with reasonable prices.

Define reasonable prices, lol.
Then we can go from there.

Yeah it's going to be connected to my computer's Creative X-Fi.

Hmm..well for reasonable price, I would say no more than 500 for the parts I listed above.
