|  Sound Card
I have 5.1 surround sound speaker and my computer has this for a sound card (3D Premium Surround Sound Onboard) that is off the description and I don't really know anything about sound cards but would it make a difference if I got a better Sound card my friend said it would but like I said I don't really know anything about Sound cards so if it would be good to upgrade this what should I upgrade to thanks

punctuation is the friend of many.
but if I got your jist after a few thourough rereads, I think you're wanting a better sound card. This one is pretty good. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16829102001

Ok well I was going to buy the sound card you put but I looked at my computer and the only slot that it could go in is being blocked becuase the heat sink on my video card goes down over it what should I do

if you're out of slots, then you're out of slots... tough luck unless you're planning on buying a new motherboard. And if you have a micro ATX motherboard and case, then you might have to buy a new case too. That would suck.

seems like you only have a few options, remove one of the cards occupying one of the other slots or you will have to live with the onboard sound.
