Quick Thanks w/ question

[NJEnviroguy]

Thanks to all at Sysopt that got my first build up and running.
The final product:
Asus P4S533
Intel P4 2.26 Ghz Northwood
Corsair XMS PC2700 512MB DDR
Gainward g42400 128MB
WD "Special Edition" 80Gb
Enermax 430W
Liteon 16x DVD-ROM
Iomega CDR
Sky Hawk Aluminum Case MSR4100
M$ XP

Two things I need:
Modem (No cable yet in my area :( ) --> Saw the thread
Sound Card --> Is the only difference b/t the Audigy Gamer and the I guess Pro edition is the internal box for connections and it looks like volume control. Is the chip and all that the same? I really don't think I need the box part, plus that defineatly would save mucho buccu for a monitor.

All Audigys are the same at heart.

The 2977 is plenty good.

The Audigy Gamer and the Audigy Platinum with the Audigy drive are the same. Essentially an Audigy Gamer or equivalent (not exactly sure on the specific card) and then it has the Audigy drive which provides Optical Input and Output plus RCA Output along with a firewire port, volume control and remote. Just buy the Audigy Gamer for now, if you want to, you can buy the drive seperately later on from Creative Labs.
