ASUS XONAR for the sound card. i think creative is over rated.

i personally beleive, 5.1 headphones are not the way to go for gaming rather get 5.1 speakers like logitech z-5500 or altec lansing fx 5051. look at the reviews.

if u do want to buy headphones regardless get senn hd 595 or denon d7000. they have excellent soundstage
