Hi guys,Firstly a little back ground. i have recently took the step and bought myself a new pc the "Titan Spinosaur" I am delighted with it. I upgraded the dvd drive to a blue ray player/burner and got a GTX 570 graphics card, NS caviar black 1TB 6/Gb/s hard drive. I also invested in a new monitor the Benq 24" widescreen. Basically i wanted a good gaming rig with which i could watch blue ray movies on a good screen with good sound.. now thisa is where i am unsure.
The mother board has onboard 7.1 , do i use this or do i get a good sound card. I also play ww2 online and the directional sound is key to find out where the enemy are coming from etc, plus having the blue ray would it be better for a good card instead of the onboard? I built pcs years ago and im lost to all the new stuff now. If i remember it was always better to free resources up and add a sound card. I have one in my old system which is a creative audigy se i think. I was looking through the forums and i see that this topic about soundcards and usb headsets has been mentioned a few times.
Basically i have bought a good rig and i am unsure whether to get a good sound card and headphones that give me directional sound or go for the usb ones and leave the sound card as is. to complicate the matter further i have bought a g510 keyboard which has audio inputs but i beleive that id be best using the onboard one instead? jeez im stuck lol
The money side isnt really an issue so usb headsets or 3mm jack with soundard and a pair of Razer Carcharias.
I dont really use speakers mostly headsets but like i said i now have a blue ray player, sorry if i repeated myself and thanks for reading
