Definitely use EAC (Exact Audio Copy).
I like Foobar because it has lots of playback options. I have never heard a sound difference between various players but then again I have never really done any really critically listening to test different players.
Make sure you have the ASIO drivers installed and enabled. Are you using your MSB for D/A duties? That is a very sweet computer you have there. It is an audiophile and gamers dream! I'm not into computer games, but I bet with your setup they would be astonishing with that huge screen and killer stereo. There are some incredible games out there and your computer is built perfectly for the most demanding of them. Those gaming consoles couldn't hold a candle to that rig!
