yeah one reason why i still use soundcard is coz my board still has pci slot, so far onboard soundcard goes better and better but if you need better quality you could list add on card.

I do: X-fi Go Pro!, I hope for the next build I have Creative X-fi 5.1 USB or HD. I am going with the USB versions because I either use a laptop or a MiniITX build and I have no slot for a dedicated Sound card. But even this way it makes a world difference to me. I'd say that's one of the most sound ivestments you can make ever. Youtube, movies, skype, games- sound sooo much better. And it's not taht expensive either- you can get e second hand card as well.
