Sound Card Picking

[brshelton]

I just got a set of z5500s and I am running them on 680i onboard which can't do crap when it comes to surrond. I am looking to get a sound card but am baffled. I will be using it for gaming most of the time and I would like to use either Optical or Coaxial spdif. Ideas?

Wow, nice speakers definitely deserve a premium dedicated soundcard. Well I am biased toward the Creative X-fi cards. I would definitely get one of those bad boys from Newegg. Prices start at 45 bucks. Anyhow you wont be sorry ordering one of those.
