New Hardware Sound card question

[Bladed]

I am doing a lot of upgrading this week. I am curious if sound cards are actually worth it? I've always used on board sound, but was considering buying a new card http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16829102048

Thoughts?

That soundcard that you're interested in is the same on I'm looking at & it looks sweet. I'm no pro audio guy but someone told me that the newer motherboards have excellent sound quality. They're really good for whenever you watch movies & listen to music.

Yeah I am not a big sound person either. My motherboard is almost three years old. Thankfully I only needed to flash the bios to support the AMD FX 8350 I bought
