Aurora PCI Slots
Hi guys,
Now I don't know much about computers but when I go to configure my Aurora via the Dell website it keeps telling me that my sound card and dual video cards cant co-exist. Now my question is, Which is more worth it?
Creative Sound Blaster® X-Fi™ Titanium Sound Card
or
Dual 1GB GDDR5 AMD Radeon™ HD 6870 - AMD CrossFireX Video Card
And will the better sound card effect the sound when using headphones? (Beats if that matters) Thanks in advance!

Get a single AMD video card (6870, 7870, or 7950).
Skip the Sound Blaster and use the on-board sound. Intel i7 has more than enough power to run the on-board Realtek sound chip.
Anyway, the better gaming headsets are USB (which means they have their own "sound-card" built-into the cord).

Agree with Tesla, I have a single GTX 580 and it rocks. I also use a G35 headset and the sound is awesome. Not a big AMD fan but to each their own.
