I recently got the Corsair SP 2500 2.1 speakers setup and im very pleased with the performance and quality. But im just wondering how much better it will sound to upgrade my crappy sound card that came with a Dell Home PC from 2007.
I think its a Creative Sound Blaster 7.1

Im a gamer and listen to alot of music.

My budget can span up to £100 but if the difference between say a £60 card and a £100 card is only noticeable to audiophiles (which i am not) then ill stick to a more budget card.

Ive been looking at the;

Xonar D1/X/D2/D2X
Creative Sound Blaster Z

So if you think ill get a good quality improvement over my current card please can you help me decide which card to buy.

Thanks
