I have a little project seeing how much I can get out of a duel xeon 5080 system. I am basically trying to play the newest games I can on this old hardware. The motherboards I have to pick from all have no built in sound. So my questions is what is the best option to give sound with out impacting in game performance. I can potentially use a few options:

Legacy PCI sound card
PCI-E sound card
USB 2.0 compatible sound card
HDMI sound from a graphics card

What would you go for and if its a sound card of some description what one would it be? Remember I am looking to try play newer games so comparability with older games is not important. Thanks
