That's what I thought, soundcards have always caused more hassle than anything in my experience, with their stupid drivers always messing up somehow
 
my budget was £1200 - ended up spending £1250 including the monitor.

I know what you're saying serikiito ;) I could have just got an ok soundcard, I think it's just my own personal experiences with soundcards and them not really seeming worth it to me, like stulid said, onboard sound does the job and doesn't use much resources.

I wouldn't notice the diff between having one and not, I think :P
 
I will be mainly using headphones, might use my (very standard) speakers once in a while to watch the odd film, but I'm not really wanting amazing home cinema like sound and don't own fancy speakers :)

And I read that SLI 560's had the upper hand in 1 or 2 games over the 580, but am happy to settle with the 580 and maybe grab another one in the future.
 
Me either Stulid :)

@ Reaper; Well I ordered it today @ 5pm, so I'm sure if I phoned them tomorrow I could change the order.

what are your suggestions?
