Sound Card: I was thinking maybe just the onboard sound on this motherboard would do (I just want the sound to be as accurate as possible and to not have ANY annoying popping / crackling / stuttering / skipping / etc.) ...

I want to be able to run any game at fullspeed 60 FPS at all times (assuming the emulator's current coding allows the game to and any slowdown's will only be the fault of the emulator and not my computer's) with any game that I throw at Dolphin Wii or Gamecube, and I am also looking to make this computer future proof so any new developments in the emulator will not have any problems running on my system.
More specifically I want to know about the sound card, I'm getting mixed opinions about what to do. Some say a sound card is a waste of money for gaming, others say it makes the experience much better. As I said above, I'm not looking for something that is going to give super ultra high definition movie theater quality. I just want what I stated above.
I was thinking maybe to invest in some better quality speakers than the ones I got 5 years ago that came with my first pre-built.
Also keep in mind I'm building this computer for emulation purposes, not really to play all the latest and greatest PC games
