Building PC need Sound advice

Hey guys,

I was wondering if you could give me some recommendations on some sound hardware. I will use this for gaming probably only for it.

Firstly I really dislike Creative just for the way they do business and support there products so I would like to stay away from them.

Here's what I'm looking at: Razer AC-1 http://www.ncix.com/products/index [...] ture=Razer

Or http://www.ncix.com/products/index [...] cture=ASUS

Now I heard great things about Razer for games on I am considering buying a headset from them in the future maybe this oOo http://www2.razerzone.com/Megalodon/

Or am I just better off going with a X-FI card.

Thanks in advance.

I don't think anyone knows really. it's not hardware that's the issue, it's drivers. These other companies are trying to compete, but can they give the support needed?

ASUS is OK about providing drivers for other hardware... but support is not good.

You know what to expect from creative (not much) but no one can predict these other guys.

Thanks guys for the help, it's really though cause I really dont wanna go with creative but i might have too

Good point. Also, what kind of speakers do you have (or will have)? If they're very good then a sound card might make a difference, but otherwise it's not worth it.
