Sound cards are overrated. Some on board chips are just as good or better.

Yes and no. As far as I've experienced, every on board sound card has a limit, even on expensive mobos. There might be an exception with the super high end, I don't know.
Anyways, any shmuck can afford an Asus Xonar DG ($20-$30). The quality improvement over on board sound should be noticeable to just about anyone, and there's really no point in spending more unless you use your PC to record.
Spending money on some nice headphones is a much higher priority though, so if you're just using skull candies or whatever the whole thing is a moot point and you're fine with on board sound.
