Is it worth upgrading?

Ok i am no audio expert tbh but do like to hear good quality sound. I am mainly a gamer but do play some movies on my system in sig.

At the moment i have the Creative T700 7.1 speaker system and an Audigy 2zs.

Now what i am thinking about buying is the following:

Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Music - Retail (SC-034-CL)
&
Logitech Z-5500 THX® Certified 5.1 505 Watts Speakers - Retail (SP-021-LG)

Am i really going to see a massive improvement over my old setup with these?

I was also looking at the HDA Digital X-Plosion 7.1 DTS Connect PCI Dolby Soundcard (SC-003-HT) as it has DTS but is this better than the xfi??

Are there any other speakers u would recommend, i would like to have the remote and i like the lcd volume control as well.

Thanks for ** comments mate.

Just reading a few reviews and comments about the Logitech Z-5500 speakers and people are saying that the huge subwoofer gives of a lot of EM radiation and if placed near ** computer it will cause serious issues, can someone who has these speakers comment on this pls?

If this is the case will have to hold off buying them as at the mo i have a very small room and would have issue placing the subwoofer, as the one i have at the mo on my creative setup is right next to me computer. Would putting this z-5500 subwoofer in the corner at the back of the room be ok though?

Will look into the digital output from the xfi, i take it digital output is better than analogue? Would the HDA Xplostion do digital output?

Sorry for all the questions but as i said i am a bit of a sound noob.

Yeah that would be great mate would appreciate it, don't think i can get these speakers just yet my room is just too small but me and some mates are going to be renting somewhere soon in May so will make sure i get a big room

Really would like some advice on the soundcard though, I think its between the XFI Xtreme and the HDA Digital X-Plosion. I am leaning towards the X-Plosion as it has the digital connection. But would the X-Mystique do just as well, do i really need the X-Plosion?

What are the differences between the X-plosion and the X-Mystique apart from the £40 difference that is

Man both james and fish99 u certainly know your sound .

Makes me such a noob lol. Thanks for the pick of the sub and wow if that is smaller than the Z-5500 sub gonna definetly wait till i move lol.

And I will go read the HDA thread, although i did have a quick read of that but kind of lost it half way through as they started talking technical .

One thing if i did go for the X-Plosion could i still plug my Creative T7900s in there till i can get the bad boy Z-5500s?

And thanks again for all your help and advice.

Well i can get the Z-5500s for 188 quid if you can give me some details of some hi fi seperates and an amp for that i would consider it.
