[quote name='tank313']Take your pick. I lean toward Sherwood or Yamaha for 2 channel.
Amazon.com: stereo reciever
Then speakers in your budget and awesome sound, I like these...

[quote name='Rich B']Im running a Yamaha 7.1 Dolby Digital receiver hooked up by an optical connector to my PC.
The older DD receivers (no HDMI) are cheap on ebay, and gives you lots of power.
Just use a pair of bookshelf speakers and you are all set.[/QUOTE]
[quote name='fatboytyler']You're not going to get high end car audio quality setup (music wise) in a PC. Just won't happen. Sure you can spend $1,000 on a receiver and speakers, but why? Music is 2.1, but you dropped a grand on a 5.1/7.1 stereo. Depending on what audio jacks you have, get the highest end one you can that'll work with them. Also, when it comes to music on a PC, a sound card won't make much improvement. I would recommend it due to other reasons, but there isn't a need to for music. 99% of onboard audio drivers are more than suitable for music. [/QUOTE]
I do agree with tyler here. I think I would like to avoid purchasing receivers and then buy speakers separately for a simple PC setup. It seems a little too much for just computer music needs.
Just go with something like the self powered solution like the one @Jeffdachef suggested. This KRK Rokit seems like a solid product....
