Problem nowadays is, there are almost no sound cards available on the market. Creative experienced a huge backlash this year, and their sales have plummeted, causing them to slash all their lines and only have lousy sub-150$ cards, and decent front-panel based +200$ ones.

The rest of the market has fallen by the wayside as well. Most modern motherboards have terribly good onboard sound, and most have coaxial and optical ports as well.

Unless you are recording, or need something that does true 5.1/6.1 DTS out, I'd stick with the mobo.
