Help building a PC

The soundcard is just a suggestion really.

Personally I like having 2 devices; X-fi goes to the speakers, my headet is on the onboard.

A dedicated card can do the audio processing in hardware, but some say onboard chips do the same thing nowadays. I'll see if I can find something more helpfull, or someone more knowledgeable could chime in.

Lol yeah, sims tend to get expensive.

I just noticed the prices in the local store are slightly cheaper than ebay because of the postage and packing of the items. Also, id get a warranty with the local items. Gonna get an even better case with the money saved. Going for this:

Regarding the sound card, I bought an external Xfi sound card last year for about eur50.00 and i havent even hooked it up yet because my gaming machien was pretty much ancient. Ill have a looksy and if i feel i need an upgrade ill go with that too
