I'm looking to upgrade the sound system on my desktop PC soon, and am undecided whether to upgrade the sound card or the speaker system. Eventually, I will probably upgrade both, but at the current time I only have funds for one.
Currently, I am running an Audigy 2 ZS and Altec Lansing ADA745 4.1 Speakers. My choices of upgrades would be the Creative X-Fi (either the XtremeMusic or the Platinum edition) or a 5.1 surround sound speaker system (currently looking the Logitech Z-5300e). I do high-end gaming on my computer and also use it as my primary music/DVD player. Let me know which option would deliver me the greatest performance boost. Thanks.
