    You did not say what card you have now. IMO the high end cards don't offer much in the way of better quality. The do offer more bells and whistles.

    I'm running off the chips on the MB (Intel I think) and my first set of speakers where crap I think $15 US. The sound was tinny and distorted. I bought a set of 3 way (2 speakers and base) Logitech ($50) And I'm very happy with the sound.
    Ok it does not rattle the windows but the quality is very good.

    To get the best sound you must have impedance match of the card output and what ever you have as an amp and speakers.
