I'm having a party and I do not know how to hook up loud 300 watt speakers to my PC...They're too strong (or you can give me ideas on some how have loud speakers, because PC speakers are not loud enough!!!)

You'd need to have an amp between the sound card on the pc and the speakers. You could go with a receiver that has a built in amplifier or, hook up a tuner/pre-amp and add an amplifier.
You need the amplifier to povide sufficient power to drive the speakers. I'm not sure what kind of sound card you have, but I doubt it puts out more than maybe 10 watts of power. Not enough to drive the 300 watt speakers you mention.

You need to connect (with a shielded stereo cable) the earphone/speaker output jack on the back of your computer (some have them on the front also) to the Aux (auxiliary) input on an integrated power amplifier with a capacity of up to 250 watts per channel (but 50 may do). Then hook the speakers up to the amplifier. If you have a home receiver, this will also work - same hookup.

You need to learn about the principles of audio. It is not a simple matter of just connecting speakers. Go out on the net and get a course on sound and the science of audio.
