What amp for PC application?

This is all to be ran from my computer. I want to go the path of bookshelf speakers/amp instead of just simple computer speakers.

I'm fairly sure I'll be buying a Dayton SUB-100 HT Series 10" 125 Watt Powered Subwoofer and Infinity P162 speakers (unless someone recommends differently.)

I'm not sure of what amp. I was going to get on of those T-Amps as I once got recommended, but I'm not sure if it's the best option considering I have an m-audio audiophile 2496 card into a mixer to my speakers. The mixer has all kinds of outputs..I don't need to do just the 1/8th stereo input the t amp has, which suits most computer's outputs. I can do rca out..so now I'm looking at and trying to compare quite a few amps. If someone could tell me the disadvantages of the cheaper ones, and the advantages of the higher end ones, that'd be great. Or also, if any of them would not suit my application.

Erm I really don't know how it would be wired. I've nearly really messed around with a subwoofer before :/

I think but I'm not 100% sure that from the power amp you would have the 2 channels left and right going into the subwoofer and then on the subwoofer there will be a low pass ladder filter that will pick up the low frequency from the signal. Then coming out from the subwoofer you would have two channels out going to the two speakers.

But the amp would only power the speakers- the subwoofer is self powered.
 
I recently purchased a pair of KRK Rokit 6 studio monitors:

They are self-powered (50 continuous watts apiece) made by a company with a longish (1986) and reputable history in the professional stereo monitor market. They have some pretty stellar reviews online and, the best part, they are only $150 (down from $300 originally).

As they are self-powered you wouldn't necessarily need an amp unless you want to drive other setups.

I ordered them so recently I haven't received them. If you'd like, I could keep you posted.

They also have a pretty cool sub that you can purchase too, but I think that is $300 or so.
