Over the last few months my current computer has started to fail so over the weekend I ordered a new computer.
Asus maximus VII hero
i5-4670k
Mushkin Enhanced Redline 16Gb 2133 @ CAS9
Evga GTX 980 SC
I will be pulling form the old system
2 intel SSD's one for OS and other for games
2 750GB drives
Silverstone 1200w
corsair carbide 200r
corsair sp120 fans
corsair af140 fans
Noctua D14
I would like to get something better then onboard sound, I've also read that this board might have onboard audio issues as well. I listen to music for about 8-10 hours a day with a pair of shure 535 red Japan Special Edition, so I would like to have something that produces good sound.
Its been a vey long time since I've put a soundcard in my computer, Think the last one I had was a sound blaster Audigy 2 deluxe, had a big grey breakout box for the desktop.
any recommendations would be appreciated... kind of had my eye on the Sound blaster ZxR card, but if there is something better I'm all ears.
