Like these? I have these upstairs, but I was wondering if more could be had for 50 bucks. 

i5 6600k and GTX 1070 but I play 1600-900. 1440p BABY!

Still, don't put too much faith in my buying decisions. xD

Yah. We have that set, or something that looks basically the same, and it's pretty good. I'd personally look for something with a bit bigger woofer and maybe 4 speakers.

Can that be had for less than 50? To be fair, I'm not using these for everything, just so I can use my setup for movies.

IDK. I'll look on Amazon. Though for movies, those should be fine.

Eh, looks like the Z313 is the best under $50.

Pretty much.

 

We got my girlfriend the Creative A250 2.1 set for under 35usd because she needed new speakers and we were struggling financially at the time to afford more expensive sets.

 

That cheap set was surprisingly good given it's Creative and it was under $40. Bass is on the high end and isn't adjustable, one of the few flaws given the price. I have a pair of $80 Logitech's with Bluetooth capability and her speakers keep up no problem.

Any suggestions for some 50 USD speakers? For movies with friends and family, not for games. I'll get headphones for games. 

I would suggest saving money, the difference between 50$ speakers and 100$ speakers are 10 fold.
