    If its just stereo. Then creative has alot of nice soundcards. Get one in your price range, but if you ONLY need stereo, then don't go for the newer 5.1-7.1 cards.. that would be just a waste of money, and probably less good quality.

    Cable, just look at what u need, go get them. But choose high quality cables.

    Should be all ok.

    good luck

    And a word from the anti-creative warmongers.

    For just 2 channel music, a creative card would suck. Chaintech AV-710 ($25) or EMU 0404 ($100) are great cards for 2 channel music.

    As for cables, look for gold plated plugs and copper wire.
