I just bought the new ASUS A8N32 SLI Delux motherboard, and was wondering if I should save money and use the onboard sound card which is stated below:

Realtek® ALC850 8-channel CODEC
Universal Audio Jack
Audio Sensing and Enumeration Technology
Coaxial / Optical S/PDIF out ports on back I/O

Or should I purchase a PCI soundcard such as the soundblaser X-Fi sound card for $113.00 (card only, not the platnum,fitality series).

What to do??
 
Depends on your speakers and how much you care about audio quality, for the most part onboard will be fine. But if you want really nice audio or have nice speakers, i'd go with the PCI card.
 
If you got the money go for it, but then make sure you buy some really nice speakers orelse you won't be able to notice the difference
