I just got this computer and although it says 5.1 surround sound on the box apparently there are no internal speakers in the system?  Or microphone? Or webcam?  What type should I get that will be compatible?

HI

This is normal, it is a tower, you have to buy pc speakers, which must be connected to the audio output at the rear

so you can buy single amplified stereo speakers
2.1 speakers is fine, you have two speakers with a subwoofer, depending on what you buy the sound can be very good

It is indicated as 5.1, so here I have no precise information, generally depending on the equipment, you have to use the different audio connections the signal is therefore suitable for the front rear speakers etc.
open the audio panel you should have some hints like this

this is an example yours may be different

 

choose the brand the price you want but 2.1 speakers for example
