The first thing to know is that you should not necessarily trust the PRODRG 
topology at face value.  Validate its parameters using methodology compatible 
with the force field you intend to use.  See here:

To construct the system, genbox is your friend.  Use genbox -ci -nmol -box to 
insert the solute into the unit cell, and fill the box with the solvent, also 
using genbox.  If you need to create a solvent box from which to start, that is 
also done with genbox, either using -ci -nmol or -maxsol.  The documentation 
explains each of these options.
