hey, I'll be getting a soundcard and headset (w/ mic) for gaming soon. I just wanted some input as to what you guys have liked and what you'd suggest. I'm an avid movie/music person, but I'm really getting this stuff for gaming so if it sounds awesome for music/movies that's great too.
here's my current sound card:
Newegg.com - CHAINTECH AV-710 7.1 Channels 24-bit 192KHz PCI Interface Sound Card - Sound Cards
here's the sound cards I'm looking at:
Newegg.com - Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi XtremeGamer 7.1 Channels 24-bit 96KHz PCI Interface Sound Card - Sound Cards
Newegg.com - AuzenTech XPlosion 7.1 7.1 Channels 24-bit 96KHz PCI Interface Sound Card - Sound Cards
and headsets I'm looking at (just something like these...5.1 surround):
Newegg.com - Computer Parts, PC Components, Laptop Computers, Digital Cameras and more!
(combo I'm looking at as well):
Newegg.com - Creative 53SB000003000 7.1 Channels 24-bit 192KHz PCI Interface Elite Pro Sound Card and HS-900 Headphone Bundle - Sound Cards
BTW, my budget is ~$150 for headset AND sound card...I may push it up to $175-200 if it's worth the extra danero.
