Choosing a 5.1 surround sound card ~$85

First of all, I have hardly any idea on how to choose a sound card...

The requirements:

-MUST be 5.1 surround sound or better (including 5.1)
-24-Bit sound
-around $85 for the card, not too expensive, but I don't want to have a $40 card either...
-Please an analog system, unless you have recommended some digital speakers
- PCI Card!!!

Please could you either give me a name and a link or choose from either of these sites please

$ to CHF = $ / 1.2

I play Half-life 2, Doom 3, Counter-strike:Source and soon Age of Empires III.

I would like the card to be decent for the next year atleast, preferably more.

Note: both links are swiss sites

Link 2: http://shop.computerheller.ch/shop1.cfm?act=s&g=116

and again... CHF / 1.2 = $ ($ * 1.2 = CHF) :wink:

if you need to know anything else, just ask please.

BTW if you could suggest any sound systems from here it'd be very much aprreciated

I've been thinking about these speakers here: http://www.stegpc.ch/details.asp?prodid=phi-mms260

lol sorry about all the links :tongue:

one more thing...if you think that those speakers there and this card here (http://www.stegpc.ch/details.asp?prodid=cre-zs7-oem) is a good combo, I'm glad and I'll get that.

Thanks for every reply
