as for soundcard...i dont really care what i get as long as its cheap and it doesnt put any stress on my cpu...gaming, movies, sound editing...dont really care. and the case...when i build my last pc, i picked the cheapest keyboard,mouse and case i could find and worked fine im just hoping ill get lucky again.
EDIT: Nice find on the card with bf2, saved some cash..and right now..im squeezing every penny I can...
