If you mean just setting up 5.1 or 7.1 speakers on your PC, that's easy to do, and you just need a PC speaker system designed to connect to your sound card.

If you want to use home theatre speakers, those will require an amp -- and if you want lossless you'll need an amp/receiver that can accept 7.1 LPCM audio over HDMI along with one of the PC solutions prerich mentioned.
