I'm looking into getting a sound card. My budget is around $300AU, but I am prepared to spend more if it really makes a big difference. I would mainly use it for gaming, but I do listned to a bit of music and watch the odd movie.
The soundblaster X-fi platinum and the XtremeGamer Fatal1ty pro both seem to be good sound cards. I'm also looking at the Razer barracuda, but I haven't found anything to say how good it is. Could I get some comments on these cards, any better cards, or even if it is worth getting a $300 sound card over just onboard?
Also, what headphones would be good for a sound card? Will the sound quality be good on any pair, or would I have to fork out more for a decent set?
Karma for good info.
