Home Theater Packages

[trihedral]

I'm looking for a package but unsure what i will be needing.

At the moment i have both a Polk Audio PSW350 Subwoofer i bought like 5-10 years ago for $600.

Probably will use that subwoofer in this setup.

I'm getting a home theater setup for the upcoming 50" LED LCD 120HZ that i'm getting, but i also need speakers compatible with my Alienware M15x Laptop.

Would i be needing a sound card? or would an amplifier or receiver be enough?

Was leaning toward a Logitech Z-5500 or Z-906, but now i want something even better.

Have about $650 to spend on everything. If i could still use my old subwoofer and save some money that'd be nice, but if it's outdated junk, then that's ok too.

Thanks

amplifier receiver is fine. You can use the old speakers if you connect the computer audio out to the input of the receiver.

oh ok. All my old speakers aren't good, so i'll have to look into buying new ones.

Should i buy a Home Theater In A Box or make one myself with better individual items?

or would it be best if i buy separate pieces and put them together?
