I'm looking to get a simple 2.1 (or just 2.0) setup for my TV, to be able to get input from the TV, my consoles, as well as my PC (I use my TV as a third monitor so I can stream video or play PC games from the couch).

First of all, any recommendations for speakers, amps, or subwoofers would be appreciated. Right now I'm looking at Micca MB42X-C speakers.

But wiring is a bit confusing. Would I connect my Xbox to the amp or sub, or connect everything to the TV and have the TV output the signal to the amp, then to the speakers? Is it even possible to run video from my PC to my TV, then have the PC's audio outputted from the speakers?

Note: I don't have a TV set-top box. I either stream audio to my TV's built in speakers from my PC or I use my Xbox to play Netflix.

Hook a turkey up. Fallout 4 is coming.

You will find out who you are not a thousand times, before you ever discover who you are. I hope you find peace in yourself and learn to love instead of hate.

Yes if you have Windows just right click the speaker at the bottom left hand and click playback devices, then select your TV. As for the general set-up if your TV isn't ancient then you should be able to plug everything into it and then have one output to the speaker.

That's what I currently do, I was just concerned about having that signal, PC to TV, being able to be outputted from the TV to whatever speaker system I use, which I assume will require a receiver or amp unless I go with a soundbar (and I don't intend to), while also keeping its original channels (left or right unless I go with 5.1) rather than ending up with lossy stereo.
