• Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
    Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.

Sound card or Integrated?

I'd throw it in just to compare. I'd still lean towards the Audigy sounding better, just a matter of whether you want to deal with the extra software needed for it.
 
I've had mobos that sound like crap and others that sound as good as stand-alone cards -- it depends on the board. I'd say slip in the Audigy and compare.
 
Depends on how sensitive you are to the sound quality. To be honest I tried some external DAC's and PCI soundcards where I heard not much of a difference from the onboard realtek sound cards. I think its a bit of preference vs cost.
