-2 problems

-winXP and Creative sound card

-Creative is waaaaayyyy to expensive. For what you need you might as well go for a fortissimo III 7.1 or a Digifire 7.1 card from hercules. This will save you around 75 bucks where as you can take that 75 bucks and invets it into some thing else that needs a bit more sprucing up. (Such as a nicer looking case and a ample power suppply. Why go with the larger power supply ? well you are getting a 2.8 "c" not a a or b core. This means plentiful overclocking capabilities which in turn means you need more power.

Hercules =Better drivers(stability, price for the bang)
Only bonus from the audigy card is that it has 24bit sound.
