I just built my gaming rig for BS, Lockon & FSX: Win 7 64 bit, i7 920 (OC to 3.8G), Asus P6T Deluxe V2, XFX GTX295, 6G OCZ Platinum running at 1600MHz, WD 1TB SATA II, Antec 900 case, Cosair Power Supply HX850W, Saitek X52 Pro & Rudder, Logitech G15 v2. Everything appears to be running smoothly (except some quirks on the X52 Pro MFD).
I am currently running the on board sound chip, but I have an old Creative X-Fi Platinum Fatal1ty Champion Series, which uses the old PCI type of slot. Is it worth buying a newer version such as the Creative PCI Express X-Fi Titanium Fatal1ty Pro Series, which uses PCI express? Or should I be looking at the Asus Xomar Series, which also uses PCI Express?
Would I see improved performance with PCI Express? For compatibility with Win7 64 bit, should I stick with Creative or try Asus?
