I never really cared about my sound card much (Integrated has always been fine), but now I think I want some surround sound.
I saw NewEgg.com had SoundBlaster Live! on sale for $33, and a SoundBlaster Audigy Gamer for $87. So how big is the quality difference between them? They can both do surround, it's just a matter of quality. Or, is there some other Sound Card that is a better deal than these? And what's a good speaker system to buy? I don't usually crank up the volume alot, so I won't need that much wattage. I'm trying not to go over $150 with this, but I can if really necessary.
Thanks!
