Tactical Nuke's first computer build! (MINIMIZNG COSTS)
Foxscotch:
your motherboard has 7.1 output, unless you actually do professional sound stuff I wouldn't waste the money. they're pretty pricy for what little benefit they provide over motherboard sound

Actually a decent soundcard/DAC blows motherboard audio out of the water.
Tactical Nuke:
I've found a good DAC, the Schiit (yes, it's pronouced how you think it is) Modi 2 for 99$

anyone got any other suggestions?
Tactical Nuke:
I've talked with my composition teacher, he's all for the Modi 2 but I'll keep looking regardless

Renderman recommended a different motherboard
