On my new computer I bought the Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi XtremeGamer sound card. When I watched videos of how to put together a computer, I never saw one that showed how you install the sound card. I have the 680I mobo that will be used with it and was wondering if I am going to have any trouble with installing it.

Also, if there is any sound port on the front of my case I am assuming I am going to need to plug it into somewhere on my soundcard instead of the mobo?

I just installed a Creative XFi Fatality and wasnt too hard just make sure you have some longer screws for the drive bay to mount it. Does the XtremeGamer come with a separate drive bay for headphones?
