Im thinking of buying a sound card, just wondering if anyone had any recommendations?
I was looking at the Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Fatal1ty FPS Edition + HS600 £29.99 Gaming Headset Bundle - Retail (SC-041-CL) from overclockers.co.uk which has had nothing but good reviews from everyone.
I dont use the PC for anything else other than gaming.

Cant go wrong with Creative labs. Fatal1ty series is very impressive and if you shop round you can get a good price for it.

i think overclockers are doing it for £120 plus VAT but that includes some headphones (which i wouldnt use much), but that aint a bad price all in all.
Think i will get it this weekend and not tell the misses!
