Hello, I would like to buy sennheiser game one but i only have onboard sound alc887 (Asus h81m-plus)
will it run good or do i have to buy something to be able for them to work properly. And i only have about 70$.
 
hard to say but on low end onboard you could certainly run into issues.
the xonar dg is about $30 if you're worried.

Well since my mobo only costs about 50$ i dont think that the onboard sound is very good. I guess ill get xonar dg and try it out thanks!
