Hey guys -
Today I started reading and researching dedicated sound card for your desktop and wanted to ask you guys if it is really worth it to purchase a sound card. Some say if I have decent motherboard then I do not need one... I play PUBG (Battle ground) a lot and it can always use extra sound support. Based on my build/headset, does it make sense to buy a sound card?
Here's my build:
Headset: Sound BlasterX H7 Tournament Edition (both USB and Audio jack)
Motherboard: Gigabyte Z97X-UD3H
GPU: EVGA Black Edition 1070 Ti
CPU: Intel i7-4790K (w/ be quiet! DARK ROCK 3 cooler)
RAM: CORSAIR Vengeance Pro 16GB (2 x 8GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 2400
PSU: EVGA G2 750w
Windows 10
Based on my research, Creative Sound Blaster Z ($95) is pretty good with gaming.
So, should I buy? If yes, what sound card should I buy?
Thanks guys!
