Audio Editing

Hello, I've got a tall order... I do video editing and light audio editing and am looking for some speakers (any kind) for $40 USD or less that have better quality audio than my current speakers (which are starting to hiss at me after a faithful 6 years of service). Thanks!

So I make gameplay commentary and I was just wondering what would be the best way to set up my monitors and everything for recording? My room is 10'6"x12'6" And I've attached a screenshot below. On the left you can see a closet and basically right in the middle of the right wall, is a window...
