plz... is it any good for my logitech z-680 speakers?

Thats too broad of a question. Its all down to how YOU like your music, and
sound. Whats good for one person, may sound totally wrong for another, and
vice versa. So experiment. Personally I use the Audigy, since I use 5.1
speakers, and also since it supports various codecs. Though I can say no
matter what, goto places where you can listen to certain speaker
setups...like compusa

I have the Live! 1024, coupled to Cambridge Soundworks 4.1 speakers,
it's no Hi-Fi but for playing games it's OK. Good enough sound for
most things, I first watched Hannibal on DVD from the comfort of my
swivel chair.

it'll work fine.
My Z-560s and audigy work fine, too.
....they just cost about $150 more.

BUT, I can drown out the (c)rap music from the philistine next door.

It's two generations old at least, but for 33 bucks it's not a bad
board. It should drive your Z-680s just fine. If you can afford to go
the 50 for a Turtle Beach Santa Cruz though that would be a better
option.

Old and surpassed by better hardware. Turtle Beach Santa Cruz is a better
card for about the same $. TBSC is more compatible, stable, sounds better,
and uses less cpu cycles.

Have one in my kids PC and it's served it well for 2+ years (upgraded from
the SB live and never looked back - didn't realize how bad the live sounded
until I popped in the TBSC). Audigy 2 is also a great card but a bit
pricey.
