Stay away from cheap analogue speakers, especially if they are plastic and computer speakers, plastic junk I call them. The logitech Z-5500 are decent but they are old and overpriced for their specification. Get some old wooden book shelf speakers. Maybe two at first, then in a few months get a another pair, then a center and slowly build your system. I'm guessing you have an AV receiver?

Hey dude. Thx for the offer but not really interested in used stuff
Without a receiver your stuck with regular computer speakers, get whatever you can afford I doubt there would be a noticeable quality difference. Hard to tell between average quality and mediocre quality.
