Picking a new soundcard.

Right now I just have onboard sound that came with my GA-E45P-DS3R. Which isnt bad for listening to music, and being able to use my 5.1 speaker setup. I think my favorite part is the audio manager that came with it. Lots of features, equalizer, mixer, bass management, getting to choose what ports do what, mic setup. Speakers muted once headphone is plugged in. Then tons more with Dolby Prologic II, virtual speaker, surround headphone, digital live, and able to control all the sounds of each of those.

It would be to much to go into detail about the program.

Anyways, my interface has broke, and im trying to use this for recording, but its latency is way too much. 13ms. I also have gotten more into games, and would like to take full advantage of the EAX option to really make the sound "come alive".

So I figured, while saving for a new interface, which is really expensive, to just grab something to use while waiting. I think ill go with Creative, unless other brands can use EAX. I would like to have an audio manager with it like mentioned above, so I have full control of the sound, preseted equalizer settings (room, bathroom, city, Forest, rock, pop, dance. You get it.). Im sure any card out now is going to have a better latency than onboard sound, and have better sound quality.

The card has to be PCI-E 1x.

Any card that fits that? I saw Creatives X-Fi Titanium Fatal1ty which has a front access to the headphone and mic port, which would be amazing, so I dont have to constantly get behind my comp. That part isnt to important, but it would be nice.
