Sound Card

[TheProf]

Hey guys

 

Recently been looking to get a good sound card for Music/Gaming... I am not looking for something extreme, but would definitely love to get something good or should I say better than what I currently got onboard. My current motherboad is the ASUS P8Z77-V.

 

Considering getting the SB ZXR... but it's a bit pricey at the moment... might wait a few weeks to see if it goes down in price.

 

Any recommendations?

And if you already have high end headphones, get an external amp/DAC instead of a soundcard.

The SoundBlaster ZxR has not moved in price much maybe go for the Zx instead I have heard it has sound comparable to it's bigger brother the ZxR

I already have some decent spearkers, the Logitech Z623 and good Bose headphones... should of probably mentioned that.

You won't get improvement out of a sound card.  Put the money into something you will enjoy more, like an SSD, or towards a GPU upgrade.  Or maybe go and trial a few headphones and see if you can find a better pair than what you already have.
