Basically I can either afford a 680i with no sound card, or something like an Asus P5N-e with a creative labs x-fi. So since im hearing that the 680i absolutely blows away all the competition, I want to go with my first choice, but Im just wondering if the onboard audio is any good at all, or if it'll be the sort of situation where as soon as I get $100 I go buy a card. 8 channel Azalia HDA is what newegg.com describes it as, for whatever it's worth....

Yep pretty much, from the reviews I read it seems to be extremely solid overall.

[QUOTE="andres_nk1"]please answer him, i want to know to.Hewkiias do I.lol the choice is clear...get the 650i with the x-fi sound card...trust me...the 680i isnt much better than the 650i in the performance area it just has more features that you dont really need. the 650i overclocks fine (if you are worried about that)
