Looking for sound card for importing from turntable/amp to HDD

[spottedhoof]

I'm requesting an opinion on PCIe sound cards for importing sounds.
I'll be going from a turntable to an amp to the sound card to HHD to be cleaned up by WavePad before recording the track to CD/DVD. I'll probably stay with either Asus or Creative (mainstream), and I'd like the budget to stay below $150.00 to $200.00. I realize this might be more then most PC's sound cards, but I also realize I have 3 main parts to this equation (turntable, amp, sound card). It doesn't matter on the output for 5.1 or 7.1, but I would like great output on the headset.
Thanks in advance for your time.

I would rather keep the analogue part away from the PC, and go with external USB sound card.

Thank you for your opinion, but this isn't something I had considered.
I need to look into the available hardware and check out their specs.
