I am building a new computer and it is getting a bit over budget already! so i was hoping to keep my current monitor.....
specs:-
cpu:-core i5 - 4670k {haswell}
GPU:- Gtx 770
RAM:- Corsair GB Vengeance(2+GB)
Mobo:- Asus z87-A

now i am hearing much talk aboutt this VGA vs DVI ports so my question is this...

do i really need to upgrade ? because my current LED monitor{vga} woks just fine!

No, there'd be no loss of sound..... why should there be?
You're using the VGA.... if you change over from the VGA port to the HDMI port you still get an option whether to let HDMI handle the sound (Meaning you GPU) or then the usual Sound Card that you were using before....
