How about this:Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Surround 5.1 Pro USB Audio System with SBX SB1095. I'm assuming my headphones would simulate the 7.1 part...
I think this Creative Sound Blaster Audigy PCIe RX 7.1 should fit the bill for what I'm looking for. Any thoughts?

I have Steelseries Siberia 800 headphone and an Asrock ab350m pro4. I'd like to use Dolby 7.1 surround. It doesn't look like my mobo has a header to attach an add on toslink connection. To get 7.1, it seems that you have to use the 3 3.5mm ports on the back as well as the one that would be on...
I'm looking for a recommendation for a sound card with optical out that will support my 7.1 headphones. My motherboard unfortunately doesn't have any toslink so I need something pcie that works with Windows 10. The cheaper the better and even usb is ok as long as it has Dolby 7.1. Thanks in...
I'm sure a lot of professionals really liked what happened this year with Ryzen/Threadripper. Definitely not a substantial IPC increase, but AMD's core count increase directly affected the market and forced Intel's hand on it's expensive 6+ core cpus. I myself enjoyed the switch to Conroe from...
I recently upgraded my computer to Ryzen+Vega and planned on handing down my fx8320+R9 290 to my girlfriend. I didn't realize that she had a computer her dad had previously buildt her with an i5 2320 in it. I've always been an AMD guy, but only due to the fact that they're generally cheaper...
This is what I was thinking would be the answer. Thank you and pendragon1 for the responses, I only use my computer for gaming and I wear headphones so I do not believe I'll purchase the kit.
EK just released an kit for vega and it supports Ryzen for $240(link below). My current vega 56 has the following settings in wattman:
Frequency %: 3
Voltage control: 1100 for pstate 6 and 7
Memory:900mhz
Fan speed: max
Power limit: +50
This results in my gpu core clock boosting and...
I'm personally and Ultrawide guy. You can get an LG 29" ultrawide for roughly your budget. Some people preach high refresh rate monitors, but I've never personally experienced one.
I'm looking to mount my old 1080p 25" monitor above my 34" ultrawide. Problem is, the 25" has 6 holes for the mount and the ultrawide has 4. 4 out of the six holes are infact Vesa, but it would cause the monitor to be off center. Does anyone know of a bracket or mounth that would...
I purchased both and I do think you should get both. With that being said, I voted for BF1. I think its the slightly better game personally, but I do enjoy both. TF2 is pretty similar to the previous version, but BF1 is the first good BF game since BF4 IMO. Maybe purchase BF1 now, and TF2...
I'd like to trade my AMD FX 8320 and Gigabyte GA-990FXA-UD3 for a mitx motherboard with full pci express slot and an i3 or i5. The 8320 is lapped and has been overclocked to 4.4ghz in the past. It should be capable of higher with a better cooler than what i have. I want to trade due to this...
I'd like to trade my second HTPC for something that is smaller and more energy efficient.
The specs are as follows:
CPU: Phenom2 x6 1055T with CoolerMaster VORTEX+ heatsink
MB: Gigabyte GA-970A-UD3
Ram: Generic 8GB DDR3 1333
VGA: Nvidia 650 TI 2GB 1189/1475
PSU: Antec Neo Eco 520W...
I too would recommend the 280x based on performance. As long as you get a good custom cooler one, I can't imagine heat being an issue. I run a r9 290 in a closed media center stand(albeit stock) with no heat issues.
Also is there a reason you're getting 4x4GB of RAM? Most suggest 2x8GB. If...
Exactly the issue with VPNs. Average consumers use tablets, rokus, consoles, and TV apps for their streaming. VPN software for pc is easy, other devices are not as simple. Also netflix would be in danger of alienating people with older devices that didn't get VPN updates.
I know this is a weird question, but what is the best case that fits a full atx MOBO with little airflow? I currently have an Antec p182(love the design) laying sideways inside of a closed tv stand. I have little choice in the placement due to a very touchy toddler. Are there any cases that...
I'm in the market for a cooling solution for my R9 290 reference. I'm looking for an Accelero Extreme IV, Gelid Icy Vision GC-VGA02-01, or Prolimatech MK-26.
I would be willing to buy an AIO Asetek based water cooler if its new. I'm hesitant to purchase any older ones as I'm worried about...
Playstation TV(Vita tv or w/e they're calling it) allows you two play your games in another room for $100. Almost like getting another ps4 for $100, but you can only play one at a time.
