Ok guys,

I'm already pretty set on buying the Creative T6060 or the Logitech X530 speakers, don't really want much more input on that. However, could someone let me know what the soundcard below the X-Fi I should get is? I don't want to spend much, I'm absolutely not an audiophile, I do not need bookshelf speakers, seperate 2.1's and an amp, or any of the stuff you all recommend.

I want good positional audio, basicly good positioning and a smooth transition from speaker to speaker (EAX4 almost a necessity). I thought the Creative Soundblaster 2 ZS is the thing to get but then I see two other OEM looking things in the soundcard section, so I'm kind of confused!

It's all with an eye to playing games basicly. Thanks for all your input in advance.

PS. If you think I'd be better off with 7.1 could you give me a good reason why.
 
Not sure if I'm aloud to even mention this but I saw an X-Fi extreme music somewhere else for £61. For £30 more than the audigy 4 what are people opinions on whether it's worth it?

Lol by on a budget I mean cheapskate. I may not get anything in the end as the ATI video cards are so cheap atm. Cheers guys,
