Which sound card ??

Hi,

I'm about to finish getting all the parts for my new computer and I just can't figured out which sound card should I get. The choice is between: Creative sound blaster X-Fi xtreme gamer -and- Asusu xonar DX...so can you tell me which one would be the best choice (and why) for pure gaming on vista and with Turtle Beach Ear Force HPA2 5.1 Surround Sound Headphones.

Thanks a lot

Can't you get the X-Fi Titanium PCI-E? I think it's the same price and the Xtreme Gamer has issues with Vista but there isn't this issues with the new Titanium series. The Xonar doesn't have real EAX 5.0 but supposedly support that through emulation.
