Sound Card????

I have all the components for my Hackintosh but the last thing i need is a sound card. I would need a sound card that works for gaming. I wanted to use Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Titanium 7.1 but after doing some research its not compatible. If you guys can give me some sound card advise as to which one you recommend that be great.

Specs

Case: NZXT Phantom White with Red Trim
Motherboard: Asus P8P67 WS Revolution B3 Rev 3.0
CPU: Intel Core i5 2500k
RAM: Patriot Gamer 2 Series 8GB DDR3 1333
Hard Drive: 1 TB
Optical Drive: ASUS DRW-24B1ST/BLK/B/AS
Power Supply: OCZ Fatal1ty 550W
Video Card: Gigabyte AMD Radeon HD 6850
Sound Card: Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Titanium 7.1
CPU Cooler: Noctua NH-D14
Wireless Card: Mini-PCIe to PCI-e Adapter/MacBook Airport Card

The Realtek onboard 889 sound will work fine.
I have a P8Z68 Deluxe and it is essentially the same board as you are getting except for the P67/Z68 differences.
Installation is a breeze and the audio will work very well.

Oh ok cool i totally forgot about the onboard audio. Ill just use the onboard audio for Lion and the Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Titanium 7.1 sound card for Windows 7. Thanks I really appreciate the help.
