Get one of these with a set of BX series speakers -

I like BX8a deluxe.

Although I find the subwoofer not very 'necessary' with the BX8a's for recording, you may like it for DVD's.
The BX8a's get down to the low 30Hz range on their own. The sub would cover about 32 down to 20. The sub would carry more load if used with the BX5 series.

As for soundcard, are you using the PCI slot still? If so M-Audio cards have great support. My 1010lt has reliable drivers for win 7 (64 & 32 bit), vista and XP available.
