Ah yes I forgot the GA-Z87X-OC FORCE dosent have any PCI slots, only PCI-E. Well in that case then -

- (http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=SC-094-CL) Sound blaster Audigy FX - £20 Only suports EAX 4.0, 5.1 surround and uses a Realtek & Creative chip - I wouldnt waste your money on this

Avoid the Xtreme audio card as its not actually a creative card(a bit like the Audigy FX above), but rather a some generic p.o.s. with a creative name on it.

The sounb blaster z doest not work with our beloved game (read as EAX), Titanium neither, I guess the only solution is Sound blaster Audigy FX but yet I'm not sure it is connectable with my mother board.

IT DOES, I have had both the Xfi xtreme music (same chip as the titainium) and I am running the Soundblaster Z now. I have played T3 and had EAX working with both cards under win7.

All three card I listed above are PCI-E x1 so will working any of the PCI-E x4 slots you have on the top end motherboard.
