I am getting a setup as per in my signature. The only thing I'm confused about is whether I need a Sound Card (Sound Blaster X-FI Surround 5.1) for my Logitech X-530 5.1 speaker setup?

I've been told that the Motherboard (Gigabyte GA-X58A-UD3R) has integrated sound that is just as good. So should I bother with a sound card as well?

Get an Asus Xonar,Unless you want to be stuck with the junk drivers Creative have been sending out lately,I had a Creative X-FI card and sold it because i could not put up with the drivers anymore.

I have the Xonar D1 powering my Logitech X-540s and it sounds great whatever i do...gaming,music etc...

Theres also the Xonar DS if your on a lighter budget. :)

the Xonar Essence STX is an amazing sound card that will blow your mind and x540's are okay but not top of the line
