Might I ask if theres any reason you went with a Creative sound card over something like the Asus Xonar?

^
well spotted!! why use a sound card at all?

matt_griff · 13 Jan 2011 at 18:03

I chose a half decent soundcard as I like quality audio.

I have no experience with asus soundcards but I know a little about creative.

Why wouldn't you choose a soundcard and is asus any better than creative?

Onboard sound is very good these days, are you using audiophile grade headphones/amps/speakers?

I haven't chose the speakers or headphones yet.
Maybe sticking with the onboard sound card is a good idea

Is the corsair H50 a quiet CPU Cooler?

It depends on the fan you have on the radiator.

If combined with a quiet fan, its very very quiet.
