High-end PC – Inside Parts (PSU, Storage and Sound Card)

- Power Supply Unit Selection

These days, onboard sound on motherboards has improved vastly, since Intel decided that HD Audio was a good idea. Since we are building a gaming PC, we want an add-on sound card which will offer all the 3D audio features such as AC3, DTS-ES, Dolby Digital EX, ASIO 2 and EAX along with great sound quality.

The X-Fi Platinum is not the most expensive sound card from Creative but it manages to impress with its high quality audio reproduction, drive bay panel and remote control which will make a good addition to your new gaming PC.

A console RPG ported to the PC - sounds scary, but Mass Effect PC was in good hands with BioWare.
Overclocked: A History of Violence PC Review
While adventure gaming is no longer the PC's finest, games like Overclocked prove there is still quality to be had.
TrackMania United Forever PC Review
United Forever offers a great way for new comers to jump right into TrackMania, but series veterans should be warned - this is not a true sequel.
