Asus Xonar DSX:

Creative Sound Blaster Z:

Using onboard audio right now and I've gotten tired of the static and noise when gaming, I assume the graphics card's fan or extra heat is causing it.
Mainly using an Astro A40 headset, sometimes an old 4.1 logitech speaker system. I'm assuming both cards would easily meet my needs, but considering my noise issue with the onboard, the SNR of teh Sound Blaster is making me think the extra 20 bucks for it is worth it.
