Please suggest a good sound card (5.1) at range of around 4-5K budget. Also will it greatly enhance performance in games??

Also suggest a good headphones to work with the soundcard. I have creative inspire 4.1 speaker set (4yrs old), will upgrade to 5.1 speakers soon.

For speakers upto 6,000 Rs range a good sound card won't make a difference over onboard sound. Avoid buying these cards unless your getting a 20,000 Rs speakers to compliment them.
