What sound card and fan controller? (pics and a video of new build as well)

First I want to say thanks to those who have helped me on the forums, the input from the people here (plus reading other peoples post) is why I choose the hardware I did.

I am after a sound card and the only slot I can fit it is the PCI-e 1x I think its called? What do you guys think about the Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Titanium? also what fan controler would look good on a Corsair 650D?

I would like it to go with everything in my case as well since I spent ages trying to make it look good.

This is my rig at the moment

Have a look at the Asus Xonar D2X 7.1 Surround Card, using one my self, has very good reviews, dead easy to set up and use.

The X-Fi Titanium is a good card with great sound quality, using one myself but i am also looking at going down the Asus Xonar route as with my Sennheiser PC350 headset i could do with an amplifier to use them to their full potential and the X-Fi with not having one do lack a bit of bass, as for a fan controller both these are decent ones.

Thank you Krony, I think I may go with the asus sound card then and grab a Lamptron FC5 V2.

I saw your build log and love it! what case is that new one? looks like an amazing case.
