You need one of these:

Specifically a 4 pin 3.5mm plug. One female to two male.

 

(That is if you want to use the earphone and microphone functions at the same time, if you just want to use one or the other, you can just plug it into the headphone or microphone port).

If you don't want to use the microphone, just plug it in the headphone jack of your PC, either on the case of the back.

Then just go into the Windows settings and set it as the output device (right click the sound button on the bottom right, in the system tray > Open Sound Settings > Choose your Output device on the top)
