Add Creative Live! card for second output?

Im using the built in HD Audio (realtek) on the back of my box for my headphones and switch to my PC speakers/sub on occasion.

Would it be possible to install another sound card (I have a PCI Creative Live! SB Gold in an anti-static bag)? Could I use that as dedicated for headphones or the desktop 2.1 speakers? I use Ableton Live 8 and FL Studio 10. More so FL Studio ATM.

I know Im supposed to drop a couple/few hundred on a legit audio processor with 4 in 4 out + extra stuff... down the road yes I would love to get good enough to require this gear, but for now as Im still very much new to this, would this work for the sake of convenience? Its a good sound card. Much older than my Realtek on board HD chip, but probably better.

Thanks!

It can be done but the Creative Live cards are not made for production.
