Default Looking for $100 gaming soundcard

So I just bought some Astro A40s, mostly for Xbox gaming, but I would like to use it for my PC as well.

What I'm looking for is a good sound card for gaming (if there is such a thing). Its got to have Vista support and support for future OSs if it needs to. I'd also like it to have TOSLink, and Coax, but can be left out. PCI-e x1 is preferred, but I could probably fit a PCI card in between my cards.

Budget $100 CND

I'd also like to buy from here. But anywhere else that is located in Canada is fine.

Here are the specs for the A40s, if it matters:
  • Transducer Principle: Dynamic
  • Frequency Response: 15 - 28,000 Hz
  • Nominal Impedance: 50 ohm
  • Characteristic SPL: 104dB
  • Ear Coupling: Circumaural
  • Distortion: Less than 0.1%

I would check the For Sale section, tons of sound cards for under 100$ shipped. If not, for around that much get the HT Omega Striker, http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product...82E16829271001 + shipping&tax. Good luck or if you want to buy it from YOUR website, http://ncix.com/products/index.php?s...ure=HT%20Omega
