A two-speaker system, alternatively called 2.1 speakers, is good enough for many computer users. They are easy to hook and do not take up that much space on your computer table.
For surround sound, however, you may want to consider a system with more than two speakers such as 5.1 speakers which sport five separate speakers, 7.1 speakers which sport seven speakers or 9.1 speakers which have nine speakers. You will be dealing with a lot of wires on these types of speakers, so you need to be patient while you are building your own computer.
If you choose a system with more than three speakers, make sure you have the extra space in your room. Anything over nine speakers will be quite a hassle to arrange but if you have the extra space, why not? Having sound waves coming at you from many directions is quite an experience!
You should also consider the quality of your speakers. A low-quality system will deliver terrible sound no matter how high-end your sound card is. You need high-quality speakers to deliver high-quality sounds.
One very important thing that you should note before you go ahead and buy a multiple speaker system for your home built computer is your sound card. Many midstream motherboards have an integrated sound card that only support a 2.1 speaker system. You can still hook up your 5.1 or 7.1 speakers to these types of motherboards -- and your speakers will still work -- but the sound will be similar to that produced on a 2.1 speaker system. To get surround card, your sound card has to support your surround sound speakers.
