Looking at your computer I would say forget the monitors and speakers and get a new PC.

From what I can tell it looks like a Dimension 2400 or so with a Pentium 4 and Windows XP. I know this because I have one on the floor serving as a second router:

I stream games and things once in a while. :)

Depends on the manufacturer. Monitors and sound systems don't really go out of date, they will probably break before that happens.

oh, well i would get a new monitor then, that one is pretty small, maybe if you can find a cheaper monitor you could get a pair of Sennheiser headphones, way better then speakers
