I am using dell desktop speakers for sound on my gaming PC and I wanted to know if this is a good deal.

I will be using the speakers for listening to METAL, RAP, HOUSE, and gaming. 

I will replace the satellite speakers with some old Klipsch promedia 5.1s

and i will replace the subwoofer with a car sub that i have. 

So why is this not a good system? and what would you reccomend for me? budget is <$150 USD

You won't be able to use the other speakers you have. Most likely the impedance will be different from the HTiB you are considering.

I would suggest you save a bit more and get something along the lines of this instead

How are you planning on using a car sub?

Car subs are normally passive, and HT subs are normally active.

3 pairs of Micca MB42 Book Shelf Speakers(2 New and 1 refurbished) $140

Onyko HT-RC350 $120

Monoprice 8" Subwoofer $76

Comes to $336 as I included shipping prices but its skimping on the subwoofer if you could I reccomend saving up for at least the Dayton 10" Sub and preferably there 12" sub will be well worth it for gaming.
