At the moment I use onboard sound from my M3a78-EM, through my siberias. Not really totally happy with it ... particularly in games. Positionally I don't think it is very good for hearing footsteps and stuff in games.
So I have been thinking about getting a soundcard which will hopefully improve it a bit. I was looking at external solutions because I have a custom cooler on my graphics card which I believe interferes with the top PCI-E slot ... but I could probably do some jiggery pokery.
Budget is basically as little as I can get away with but I understand that to get something better than my onboard sound I might have to spend a bit ... ideally around 55-60 quid but could maybe stretch to closer to 80, certainly not near the 100 mark ... would this be enough to get something significantly better than my onboard sound?
Was thinking about maybe the Creative X-Fi Surround 5.1 Pro THX Certified External Sound Card.
Or the siberia usb soundcard
Also this creative external soundcard
This is just a pci one ... could it be any good.
Or should i go for a pci-e one. There are alot of pci ones still on the market and they are slightly cheap than the pci-e ones ... is it worth the saving, I want this to be the last soundcard I buy for a really long time!
Any recommendations or input are welcome.

). Dolby Headphone isn't especially useful no, as it's for emulating multiple speakers on a 2.0 setup - you'll be plugging the Kaves into the 5.1 output.
