Ok, so here's the issue. I do a fair amount of SC2/Mafia II/Waiting for Batman GOTY ed to go on sale/and FPS gaming on the PC, and recently hooked my 360 up to one of my computer monitors and I am enjoying Halo Reach at the moment. I have a Sound Blaster Fatal1ty Sound Xi-Fi Titanium Sound card, on a Gigabyte- X58A-UD5 motherboard, i7 920(3.6ghz).
I am doing this primarily because I broke the desktop mic I was using, and had to ninja my wifes for the time being, and I'd like a new headset that has an attached micro
Option A, Go with existing hardware, and get;
Creative-Labs-HS-980-Fatal1ty-Professional
Option B, Go with the newly reviewed Corsair HS1;

However, my question is could I sell my existing sound card, since it would be using USB instead of 35mm connections. Or would I still need the Sound Card to drive and manage sound output? I am fairly certain I could get rid of the sound card and use the on board, but I am worried about the...Buzzing sound that might come along with it.
Any ideas?
