Hello =) I am currently in the market for a decent sound card and headset.

Right now i have a 5.1 surround sound speaker set at my dad's and 2 decent speakers at my mum's. I tend to stay up later than everyone else so i normally end up resorting to my dad's headphones (not so good) or a broken pair of gaffered up, cheap headphones... I have to keep the 5.1 surround sound set at my dad's, can't really take it to my mums, well i could but can't be arsed :P and neither of my bedrooms are an idle set up for placing two speakers behind me anyway.

I have been looking at some stuff, price isn't really an issue... i have about 50pounds and i'm getting a job soon so good good.

Here is what i've been looking at so far:

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/show [...] =SP-003-RA

So really i need help with just getting a sound card but i could still take some advice about headsets, well post away! :P

If you are going to be using headphones most of the time then you will probably not hear the benefit from an amazing sound card. This will likely be the best card you should consider getting:
