What I'm looking for are surround sound computer speakers that could potentially be used with the next-gen gaming consoles as well.

I've done a bit of looking around, but it's hard to determine what speakers are good for what I'm going to be using them for.

It will be primarily for PC gaming with bit of music, and hardly any movies. The gaming would be the first and foremost concern. I know some speakers come with adapters to work with the gaming consoles, but some of them only work with 2 speakers. I don't know if there's many that can use all the speakers in that scenario, but it would be ideal if they could.

My sound card is aging as well so it's probably in my best interest to replace it as well - there's no sense getting great new speakers if my sound card sucks.

What I'm looking for is suggestions and things I should be looking out for. I'm willing to spend a bit of money on this so that's not a huge issue.
