@Fluffy MOTHER OF POSTS! I have the Asus Formula V, which supposedly have awesome on board sound. So I wanted to avoid a sound card.See, if I was OP, that post would be on the first page >.>
No motherboard has good on-board audio. Not even $500+ motherboards. Without a soundcard, you can't have more than 2.0 audio in a headset (Even Razer, Logitech, Tritton, and Turtlebeach headsets. They're liars.) Soundcards use Dolby Digital to produce true 5.1 or 7.1 surround sound within a headset, but only using two drivers. With speakers, you can have 5.1/7.1 using onboard, but it won't have the same soundstage.

Razer is not a bad brand at all. Some of their products are overpriced though.Their only good product is the Deathadder, and the SteelSeries RAW is the same price.
I also have their Onza, which has lasted me a year, but apparently it has a lot of reliability issues. Their customer support is also absolute crap.

My next purchase will definitely be sound equipment. Since I already have a pair of M50s, should I get a mic and soundcard, or AD700s and mic, then get soundcard after that?Get an ASUS Xonar DGX first. That matters most. The M50 doesn't have great soundstage, but it will do until you can afford an AD700. You generally want to purchase the mic with the headset so that you can use both.
