Hey guys i really could do with some help,as the title says i'm after a usb soundcard and a 5.1 headset mainly for gaming :confused:

.I prefer fully enclosed over the ear headphones but i'm at a loss as where to start my search for the best soundcard/headset for my needs.Main use will be gaming but also some occasional music/youtube etc use also. I have a budget of around £150 for both but could be persuaded to go a little higher for the right combo....any help would be greatly appreciated

most 5.1 headsets are usb and have their own sound card built in so you only need a sound card if you also want to use speakers.

Yeah thx nelviss I noticed that the USB 5.1 headsets seem to have sound cards built in but was really looking for a seperate USB sound card so I can use a 2.0/2.1 set of speakers in the future.....would prefer to have the option also of using mic/headphone jacks as well as USB input just to keep my options open if possible ? Maybe I'm looking for the impossible lol :confused:

Well after being busy this weekend popped into HMV today and they had the Sennheiser 3D G4ME PC 323D's down to £59.99 so thought at that price i would give them a whirl until i can find exactly what i'm after :-)
