Do I need a sound card?

I am planning to buy a custom pc.Should I buy a seperate sound card?Or there is no need to ,the audio on the mobo is enough?The motherboard is asus p5n-e sli.I mean what is the difference between an audio integrated on the mobo and a seperate audio card which cost 100$...a sound is a sound.Plus I have good speakers.Should I buy at least a 30$ audio card or I the one on the mobo is enough?Tnx.

Answer:
These guys are all n00blets. Integrated audio is good if you aren't buying really expensive speakers, but if you want to get the most out of a great audio system you should spend at least 50 bucks on a sound card.
I'm not sure correctly what you are saying, but...

You should buy a computer, with sound on it, and also buy a sound system. A sound system is around $50-100 but it can max out the volume even more. If you just get one, then the sound won't be as high. If you get both, it can be maxed so everyone in the street hears it.
mine is on board and it does fine for me what do you want...
It depends - will the speakers work without the sound card? Also some games or programs might not play sounds without a sound card.
