New Head-Fier
I'm currently in the process of populating the parts list for my next computer rig and was thinking about what parts I still needed. Obviously, the graphics card plays a large role in the performance of a computer if you're doing anything visually intensive but then I thought about the sound card. To my understanding, most of the audio processing is done on the CPU so here's my question -
Do I even need a dedicated sound card if I'm going to be listening to music using my computer? How much of an impact will it make?
If I do need a separate sound card, what do you guys suggest? I noticed that the Creative Sound Blasters seemed to be quite popular as well as some of the HT Omega cards...
