I recently built a new gaming system with a Gigabyte 970A-UD3 mobo. The other day, I came across an old X-Fi Platinum. Is there a noticeable difference in sound quality between this card and what's on my motherboard if I'm using a decent set of headphones?
X-Fi vs onboard audio

Just moving the audio device away from the "noise" generated by the motherboard will help with sound quality.
The X-Fi family (and yours is one of the better ones) generally produces very good sound. Try it out. If you don't like what you hear, you can always revert back to the integrated audio.
Good luck!
