How can I get both Speakers and Headphones connected to the Back of my desktop?

I am looking at splitter cables, but I am worried about quality loss with those. The headphone jacks in the front aren't in such great quality

The easiest solution is to buy a discrete sound card such as a Creative Labs Sound Blaster Z which has a separate headphone and speaker jack.

I don't think I can fit it with the graphics card in the way. Im also using another PCI slot for wifi

get a usb dac/amplifier for the headphones

USB DAC, huh... What would be a good, cheap, high quality bass boosting DAC?

Most sound cards are PCIe these days. If you have a PCIe x1 slot you would be fine.
