Logitech z333 vs z533 vs z623 for gaming

[mcle]

I'm looking for a speaker for my new build and I can't decide between these three. I'l only be using them to watch videos and play games, I currently have some Creative A220s and am happy with them however, they are starting to crackle.

It depends what your budget is, and the qualify of your audio chip/card.

If the Z623 are too expensive, I'd suggest the Z533 model.

I'll be using the onboard sound that is on the z170 asus pro gaming. I have the budget for the z623 but I'm not sure if it would be worth it

Update:
The Z623 has dropped a lot in price so may be a good deal.

Corsair has a solution that costs what the Z623 used to so it's about $100 more than the Z623 right now:

More expensive, but also a much better product. Reviews:

"Folks who play single-player games will enjoy the crisp, detailed stereo sound, and cinephiles will love the theater-like quality of the audio in summer blockbusters."

(It's not perfect, but no audio solution is and $220USD really isn't that much for what you get).

a good AUDIO CARD will enhance the experience, however you will still definitely notice an improvement over cheaper speakers even with a basic Realtek onboard solution made in the last few years.

Thanks for the help, I'm going to go for the Logitech z533. Hopefully it all goes well.

Yeah, Z623 is the same price as Z533 now. The Z533 looks a lot better, but speakers are not about looks but rather sound, so Z623 seems to be the better buy. I'm going to opt for those I think.
