Hi guys, I need a soundcard or a external one, as my shitty realtek is just too quite.

 

Atm im using Hyperx clouds with its mic (which can actually sound really good if the soundcard has decent mic input, another reason I want a soundcard).

 

My choices have come down to these two:

So my question is, which one to get?

Galaxy: Intel i7 3770k @ 4.5Ghz (Cooled by a h105) - ASUS Sabertooth Z77 - Corsair Vengeance 8gb Ram - Nvidia GTX 780 2 way Sli - Corsair HX850i - Corsair C70


Razer Blackwidow Ultimate Battlefield 4 Collectors Edition (TO BE REPLACED BY K65 RGB) - Logitech G502 - Hyperx Cloud

Don't blame Realtek, blame your motherboard manufacturer for not implementing a real amp.

 

Now, what do you need this thing to do? Virtual surround? 5.1/7.1 output? Speakers? Mic input? Make toast? Budget?

I just want one with a good amp, and decent mic input, budget is 60-100 pounds, although I rather stay at around 60.

I need one that can make toast. Any recommendations?

Hey! New SIgnature! 

 

I'm supposedly a person on the Internet, but you'll never know if I'm human or not ;)
