So i am planning on making a mItx build however since it will have a graphics card there is no room for a pci sound card supporting DDL.

Is it still possible to use a headset like the Sennheiser HD 598 with surround sound, so i need an external sound card that supports DDL or can i somehow use 5.1 av receiver not sure how i would connect it.

But what would be a reasonably priced but decent setup to use?

Or would u just recommend a maxt build instead if so recommend any really small cases with good cooling?

PS i know a fair amount about building computers just never factored in sound until recently after experiencing what im missing out of and will mainly be used for gaming more then movies ect..

Thanks!!
