hey all, not sure if this is the right place to ask but here goes,

i am currently looking at purchasing a sound blaster x-fi titanium hd sound card for my pc, i currently have on board sound provided by the x-fi chip on my asus crossfire iv motherboard. my speakers are logitech z-560 4.1 for a few years ago. what i wanted to know is weather or not this card would benefit me in my current setup.
please post any thoughts or recommendation you may have. below is the link to the card in question. thanks.

The card is for HiFi, low noise, your current speakers may not allow you to enjoy the card fully. You may want an external integrated amp (or power amp) to drive bookshelf size speakers, sub woofer...
The problem being that computer speakers (they work) may not match (in performance) with HiFi components.
