Ok basically I have just purchased a logitech X-540 5.1 system. Im thinking of buying a new soundcard to go with the new system. I want to know if its worth buying a new card or to stay with my onboard sound. I tend to only play two games a lot counter-strike 1.6 and counter-strike source, for which i use my sennheiser HD595 headphones. I wanted the new system for music, movies and maybe crysis now and then. Currently the only problem I have with the onboard sound is it tends to crackle when I load a webpage in firefox or move the mouse over a website with heavy adverts such as sun.co.uk. My budget is £50
