I'm looking to upgrading my gaming PC's speaker setup but I want some other opinions before I select one. Right now I'm looking at the Logitech Z506, and the Genius 5.1 speaker setup.

They both look alright, although Genius of course looks more energetic as of cosmetics go - and it also has easier to use features. But I hear that the reliability of Genius products are rather rubbish, and on the other hand I've heard the Logitech customer support sucks (which I know first hand also since 80% of any Logitech device I've had for the past 12 years all have malfunctioned).
I currently have a Home Theater (RCA) but I can't be bothered to deal with HDMI bullcrap since HDMI for audio from a PC is as smooth as steak knives in sand. Perhaps if I could get some standard HD plug ins for the receiver, but I've tried HDMI and HDMI flat out doesn't work.
I'd like to get an easy to install 5.1 computer speaker set up that doesn't use HDMI and doesn't go over 150 dollars.
