That receiver accepts HDMI. Just get a HDMI cable to connect it to your PC.

The only sound card that will work is one with HDMI output, which is obsolete when every modern GPU has that functionality built in.
 
as i told you i want to buy one of those 3 cards

i told you this

so which to buy??Asus Strix Raid DLX and Asus Essence STX II 7.1 or AE5
 
Whichever one you want. None of them are compatible with your receiver, so you'll only be able to use it with headphones.
 
jimn230 I would get the STX because of the ability to change out the op-amps and the full size headphone jacks. I haven't looked at the options of the STRIX, but the Essence can drive low impedance headphones. If you are hooking your system up for watching movies, I would still use HDMI as it can pass higher resolution audio.
