Thread is ten years old, OP probably found a solution already or hasn't got a roommate to count into his plannings.
Regardless of that, a simple solution for a good beginner audio setup is a nice pair of headphones, like the Beyerdynamic DT 990 Pro (ca $250), a pair of decent bookshelf stereo speakers (Teufel, Magnat, Klipsch ca. $200-$500 / pair) and a simple amp to connect it all together.
The amp: I use kind of this setup for my PC along with the Creative X7 ($300). It has a built in headphone amp, amped stereo output and connects to your PC with USB, your audio devices via chinch or optical cable and your phone with bluetooth.Might not be the best sounding <$1000 combo but brings everything together nicely. Gotta start small.
If you're expecting the full audiophile experience from your new $5000 setup from the ground, have in mind that you will need high quality sources to feed your system. (Vinyl, Blu-Ray, High Quality Digital Data. Not counting Spotify and your old-ass kazaa bootleg mp3's).
- I wouldn’t call vinyl a true audiophile source, considering it’s severe and obvious physical analog limitations.monospaced
