Is this worth it, i found it online at ncix.com assuming it comes assembled?

[Poizen22]

any recommendations on any good sound cards or is the integrated one in the DS3 decent like the 650i ones i'm used to

It's decent, but a sound card like this:
Newegg.com - Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio 7.1 Channels 24-bit 96KHz PCI Interface Sound Card - Retail
or
Newegg.com - Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi XtremeGamer 7.1 Channels 24-bit 96KHz PCI Interface Sound Card - Retail
is better, than onboard.

i only have 2 speakers (2.1 system) is this still necessary??

 

[b1gapl]

A sound card is not necessary, unless you're an audiophile.

 

[veg1992]

[b1gapl]

[veg1992]

i'd rather blow it , are u gonna buy it, adn sell it and buy more and sell it?

 

[kobe24]

if u get a sound card buy new speakers, get a 5.1 set up
