there are loads of cheap pci soundcards, depends what you want, i just have a basic creative thing that does me fine, but some people like to have surround sound and the like, you need to pay more for them, a good site is www.ebuyer.com (http://www.ebuyer.com) they do both the US and England if that helps.

As for your gfx card, I use an ATI 9600xt which plays all the ga,es i have tried very well and is not expensive, way less than £100 now. or you could spend a little more and get a 9800pro or 9800xt.

Personally i have had a few problems with Nvidia cards, but there are some very powerful ones for reasonable money, but if it were me i would get an ATI card, they just seem more stable to me, i am sure someone will disagree tho. agains these cards are available from ebuyer, if they do not have what you want you could try www.overclockers.co.uk (http://www.overclockers.co.uk) but not sure if they deliver outside the UK if your not from here
