Hello fellow Tom's Hardware members,
I'm a newly introduced custom PC builder, and have spent some time trying to find the best parts to make (in my own sense) the perfect gaming rig. I have it pretty much setup, but a friend is telling me that I need a sound card. I know as much about sound cards and their need as a plumber knows about rocket science (I know the name says what it is used for, but I didn't look into when I would need to get one or not). So I was wondering, does this setup really need a sound card? Because I saw several others with the same motherboard that didn't have a sound card attached, so I was pretty perplexed by the whole situation. And if it does need one, which one would be good for this rig that is at or under $100. Excuse me for making such a long post, I just wanted to make sure my situation was outlined haha.
The setup:
