OK, I have about $30 to spend on both and I already have a good sound card picked out (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16829132020) and that is exactly $30 with shipping and handling, so please recommend the best speakers for $30 and tell me if there is any better sound cards for $30, thanks!
Two speakers or surround sound satellites?

I don't really know the difference... However, i found these (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004NEUKUO/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=ttr_computer_speakers-20&linkCode=as2&camp=217145&creative=399373&creativeASIN=B004NEUKUO) do those look good? and are they better than the ones you provided?
I'm assuming all you need is two speakers to replace the ones from your monitor? If so then the ones you picked out are good.
The ones I linked are for home theater use. So you'd need a receiver to send the signal to. Sorry, I was in the moment of building some bookshelf speakers and was thinking about bookshelf speakers when I read this. lol
lol Yep, your right just replacing the default monitor ones.
