Most onboard sound chipsets do good enough. Unless you have a surround sound system, it is probably not worth it to get a dedicated sound card.

Good speakers are the most important part of good sound. After that it may be possible to get some improvement via disgrete sound card. The only thing is that you cannot get good speakers for $100...

The smalles good speaker is Genelec 6010A

And it's over $200 / each speaker + sub

I've got my logitech x-530's that I love to pieces. They were about $60 for me a few years ago and I think they are still for sale here in the US. They are great budget speakers with a soundcard. it is good to use a soundcard since you can play around with the equalizer to make up for these speaker's heavy bass at times.

For soundcard, I have an older audigy 2 ZS. I like it alot too, but i've heard good things about the newer x-fi cards by creative. Go for one of those if you can, you can't go wrong. Just be aware that if you have vista, the drivers might be buggy for any of those models.
