You did not say what you want to play on these speakers - games, music, movies. Every scenarion is different.
Get a cheap add-on sound card with separate front, center and rear speakers. Or check your mobo sound - it might have all these available.

Motherboard audio connections get out on 3.5mm stereo jacks, much like the ones used on headphones. So, you need a cable which will have 3.5mm stereo jack on one side (pluggin into the motherboard), and two separate leads for left and right channels. Here is a picture if such a plug http://shop.vetcosurplus.com/catalog/images/CAL-30-319-2.jpg
Your speaker wires should have some diferrent colors. Take (e.g) black wires, connect them together, and solder them to the most outer ring on that jack. Solder each other wire to internal rings. Now, plug this as rear speakers. Repeat the same for front, and wire subwoofer as center.
