It will be used for gaming and music!

Thanks for the infos! Also if you know about some good cards on the about same price range as the cards I put in, please let me know. They will only be used for games and music, must be extremely good with both. I've got both Sennheiser HD595 and Creative 5.1 system.

** EDIT

ASUS Xonar D1 seems to be getting really great reviews, maybe I'll "hit that" unless you've gonna name some better once for same or little bit more $$..

If you're going to opt for the ~100 price range, I would go with Juggalo's recommendation and go with a Xonar over the Xi-Fi Titanium.
If you want a good soundcard for the headphone I recommend the Asus Xonar Essence STX. But that really depends on how much you want to spend on it.

Why the Xonar over the Titanium? That's the card I wanted to get. And I also am not that knowledgeable when it comes to audio cards.
