well for 7.1 speakers for 120 dollars they are gonna be generally lower quality. but 5.1 speakers for 120 dollars might be better. so go with the 5.1. try newegg.com

Okay....You most likly wont be able to use 5.1 with that, your onboard sound most likly only supports stero, which is 2.0. the first number is the number of speakers and second is thwe subwoofer if you didn't know......Most games don't support 7.1 or 7.2 and a little mroe support 5.1 but still not many.

Just get the 5.1's. They'll have better sound quality than the 7.1's.
