i hope you were joking to the max as even the best boards like the Asus Striker have crappy onboard compared to an Audigy SE even...

Also for gaming creative cards are the way to go as they offer EAX 5.0 while other non gaming cards (except the Razer) are only up to 2.0

granted you can get better as just as good sound for quite a lot less though.
