Bought it for 4950

my case was 6 months back...x540 is the best around 5k

next would be creative inspire m5300 around 3.3-3.6k...also good but dont expect to perform like x540.

i personally have T6060 nd hate to say it sux. And X530 nd 540 which my friends have are really much better than this

Eeh ??? Exactly on which point are they better ?? try swapping the rear and the front and see if u like the diff.

Plus , onboard sound sucks anyway .. Audigy is a must ..
