Sound card ? and need game recommendations

[alphalanos]

1) If i buy a new sound card, will it have its own plug for my speakers? (i know a dumb question i assume it will) Soundblaster a good choice?

2) what is a good speaker brand to buy? i just need something with a decent sub, and nice quality.

3) i know im really lazy, but what are some good game titles? All i see on the shelves are war/shooting/spy games and im getting bored of them. i just need something with alot of depth that takes a long time to beat. Adventure, racing, anything. i hate to say it but im bored to death with Warcraft III.

1.yes a new soundcard will have all the plugs you need. Sounblaster is an excellent choice. Get an audigy 2 model (if you want front conectors and controls get the platinum version)

2. for computer speakers Klipsch promedia 2.1:

or if you can afford it the promedia ultra 5.1

Get Frozen Throne then, lol. Well you can also get the Command And Conquer Generals pack thing, similar to Warcraft except its more realistic. If you're tired of strategy altogether (which is hard for me to do) then get a Star Wars Knight of the Old Republic game, 1 or 2 even though I hear 2 is way better in gameplay, not story. This is a RPG game btw. BUT if you're NOT tired of strategy then I advise to get Homeworld 2, $20 is cheap for a great game, very difficult to get used to because it has a full 360 degree strategy since it's in space and very fun.

Neutrino that's a hellaciously sweet 5.1 speaker system, although I have a 5.1 that's plenty loud, that looks like something I'd want in the future, but I'm more worried about getting a Pentium IV first. And I know this is an old game, and you might not find it but Descent Freespace 2: The Great War is one awesome fucking game. Not the greatest graphics but nonethe less you might find yourself playing it for hours(once played for 14 straight) and you can select it to be very hard or very easy so you will not fly right throught it. Well I can but yeah, awesome game. I like it because it's not like all the other farkin games out there. Command and Conquer games are also pretty sweet.

get far cry, that game looks the best... i have it for my XPS and it looks amazing!!!!
