Is it worth getting a dedicated soundcard?

Hi, I am building a PC and I have all the components selected. As a motherboard I chose the MSI H87-G43 Gaming, it seems to have really decent integrated soundcard (Realtek 1150 I think). Do you think I need to buy a dedicated one? I am no audiophile although I do enjoy good sound experience, but I think the integrated soundcard's quality is enough.

I would like to know if you think that getting a dedicated soundcard makes such a big difference for the average user. I will use the computer for gaming, internet, works for school and video editing.

on any decent gaming motherboard, typically an audio card won't do much for you unless you have very high end headphones..my advice is no soundcard
