Im building a new system and I am thinking about ditching the onboard 7.1 and going for a dedication sound card. I really dont know much about audio devices, much like kryptonite to Superman, they are my weakness! With that being said there are two cards I have been looking at, first is the Audigy2 ZS SB0350 (here on newegg). Second in line is the X-Fi XtremeMusic (here on newegg. Im positive that this subject has been hashed over and over again, but yall know more about this than I do. Just want something dependable that will last a while. Also, if you have any speaker recommendations in the price range of $50 - $80 that would be cool!! Thanks.
