sound card

[Mega]

I am looking to get a sound card for my rig to create a 5.1 sound system with some existing speakers. I however am only looking to spend 20$-60$. I have no idea where to start so all help is appreciated.

PCI? seems a bit outdated but tbh I know next to nothing about sound cards.

What speakers exactly do you have? And what motherboard?

It's pointless spending much money on a decent soundcard if you dont have good enough speakers to utilise the card, and in most cases the on-board sound will be nearly as good as buying a cheap sound card.
I'd find it hard to believe your motherboard doesnt support 5.1 audio - unless it's 10 years old, so if that's all you're buying for then maybe rethink

i have a set of TEAK speakers i can get to work. my mother board does not have 5.1 as when i bought the rig it was on a small budget.

Are you looking for something that works with 5.1, or do you want something very good?

The ASUS from Kyle is a good choice, depending on pci/pcie port availablilty.

That will probably be the best you're gunna need, but as I said, it depends on slot availability and how much you're willing to spend
