You could possibly get a 2.1 system for £200 that would knock your socks off compared to that Philips set you mentioned. Plus it has multiple inputs and is easily added to.
Otherwise, get a really nice set of headphones, even with a £2k sound system I still use my headphones more then my sound system when gaming.
