its not a necessity but you can try investing in a soundcard? haha
its always nice to have great graphics, but if you have nice quality audio.. itll make the experience x10 better, dead serious...

ASUS Xonar DX has been treating me great

Thanks for the extra suggestions. As I said before I am planning to get additional parts when the core is completed but you can never have enough info.
