X-Fi Xtrememusic is perfect.

I use the one that came built-in to my board.

absolutely, have OB sound? then use it.
Your speakers are much more important than the sound card. (as long as your
NOT an audiophile)

The X-Fi has MUCH better sound and fidelity. It also has 10 times as many
transistors to account for this.
