Yeah that's the PCI-e version but it's out of stock, it's always out of stock.
Just build a higher end desktop. Your paying through the teeth for a machine that probably wouldn't run games that well, and have absolutely no room to expansion or upgrading later on.

That laptop thing is so old news : p
@NaturalViolence:Good for you
Also,PCI-E sound cards are useless after all?(You said quality was equal)

Kind of, I wouldn't use the word "useless". They don't need the extra bandwidth offered by pci-e yet so in terms of quality they are identical. However a lot of audio card manufacters are switching to pci-e since motherboards are beginning to transition to pci-e. I've seen some newer motherboards they don't have any PCI slots since pci-e is slowly replacing PCI on newer platforms. Because of this consumers are more likely to buy pci-e cards since they are "future proof" (you will be able to install them in future systems 5 years from now that don't have any PCI slots). So if you can get the pci-e versions by all means do.

Oh,alright thanks!
But i don't think i'll be getting a sound card anyways since i plan to get a second GTX580 and that would definetly block off all PCI/PCI-E x1 slots(Unless sound cards are REALLY thin.).How would a ''high-end'' headset work with my integrated Realtek card?

Also what exactly do you consider "high end"? Which headset do you have?

They are really thin, only one slot thick. Also why are you getting a second GTX 580 (prepare for anti-SLI rant)?

Reveal your secrets! I must know if I can upgrade my (modded into 595) HD 555s!
(Looking at around $200 headphones though....man I'm going to be broke after all this...)
