I have been looking for a around $200 sound card and headphone combo for my gaming system. I have decided to go with the Creative SoundBlaster Z for the sound card unless I hear a good reason not to in one of the answers. The one thing that I am stuck on is a good gaming 5.1 headset. I don't want to spend more than 120$ unless it is only a little over. I need a 3.5mm connection for my soundcard. I was also wondering whether I should have a mic included or buy a clip on mic. Any help is appreciated.
