A new sound card.

[Warchief]

Greetings!

I've been postponing this for a long time, but I think it's high time to get an actual sound card - I still use the on-board one.
In the future, I plan to buy a good set of speakers, but for now I've funds just for the card.
Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Gamer seems like a good choice. I listen to the music a lot and also use my computer for gaming. So the quality of sound is quite important for me. What would be your advice?

Let me just add that my computer operates on Vista and that in near future I'd like to buy these speakers : http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/products/details/EEUR/EN,CRID=2177,CONTENTID=10928

And, when it comes to listening to music (that's most important to me), is there any significant difference between that card and the fatality edition or the Platinum ed. ?

I see, so the X-Fi extreme gamer seems like the best choice for me, aye?

I don't suppose I do. I plan to buy the http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/products/details/EEUR/EN,CRID=2177,CONTENTID=10928 in the future - but that's still being decided - I'm not sure in my small room, where the computer is such high quality speakers would be a good choice.

I have a Creative Soundblaster X-Fi Extreme music and I think its phenomenal. I have to admit, though, that its the only soundcard that I have experience with - but I did put one in two of my computers.
