Sorry, made a new post to bump this back up. Would I need to buy a better sound card or is the one on the mobo good enough (8 Channel HD Audio with THX TruStudio Pro)?

Thanks.

What sound are you going to be using? If just typical stereo 2 way gaming then onboard should be fine, if you're going to be using it as a music source/5.1 gaming then you should consider buying a seperate sound card.

Nah, I'll be using my 2.1 speakers for film and gaming so I suppose that a sound card isn't urgent.

Just stick with onboard, you can always slap in a ASUS DG for £20 later on if you feel the need.

Right, update. I got the cheque today but I won't be home until April 11th so I think I'll postpone my purchase till then.

I'll reply when I'm ready to purchase to double check if there are any bargains I should take then.

Thanks.

*bump* By the way, the original setup which costed around £930 inc shipping now comes to £970.

Should I order sooner or could I wait till April?

Thanks.
