Hi, Ive been gaming for many years and at this current time I'm getting back into PC gaming more then console and wanted to get a sound card for my PC but not sure which one, this is my current set up...
MSI Z77A-GD65 Intel Z77 mobo via optical cable to astro a40 mix amp (because i use to mainly play console games) then into custom made Audio-Technica AD700 ( Ive basically added a microphone jack in side of headphones and replaces stock cable with 5 core cable to be able to have both mic and headphone on same jack) will i benefit from a sound card without spending crazy money looking to spend up to around £80 if it will give good returns. main purpose is to get better directional sound and hear further distances if possible. am i better of keeping amp with a sound card or just sound card ?? not the most knowledge in this are hence why i come to you guys for help. Was looking at the Xonar range is this the right direction?
any input would be most grateful...
Thanks Craig~
