The 9800 pro is more that adequest for most gaming, so unless you are extremely concerned about frame rate performance, the Pro should do you fine.
The 5650 are a nice mid-range multimedia speaker system, (Note turn the center channel volume to MAX in sound properties)
The ADA995 will crack your foundation if you turn the bass up too high. If you like the thump & bump feel of a custom car audio competition, then these are your speakers. The sound is awesome, but they are pricy & to me not worth the extra $130 not to mention the 17 x 8 x 17 subwoofer box is a bit bulky.
