Speakers under 3k (preferably 5.1)

I'm thinking about buying these - Creative SBS A520

what are going to use the speakers for........... Music, movies, gaming ........

Casual use. I'll either use headphones or speakers for the tasks mentioned above.

At your budget i suggest you to go for a stereo setup instead of 5.1. A 5.1 speaker set would not be as good as should be for a surround sound experience with your budget plus you would require an audio solution for that also either on board 5.1 like realtek onboard HD or a 5.1 sound card.

And much nice than 2.0
My suggestion is intex 2.1
I have it and happy with it see my review On Flipkart
It is made of wood subwoofer case

get Sony 2.1 for tight punching bass and consider nothing else

Edifier P3080m is best possible for MUSIC
Buy Edifier P3080M 2.1 Speakers with USB/Mic Input Karaoke - Speakers - Infibeam.com

best possible solution for movies as well.
