    how much better is a dedicated sound card compared to the mobo's integrated sound?

    also do you really need a 1000 watt power supply? unless pound-equivalent of $32 or $52 is immaterial.

    Depends on the quality of the integrated sound on the mobo and the quality of the sound card. The prices of the mobo and the sound card will tell you. Higher quality mobos come with THX kind of stuff, not high priced sound card quality. but better then the low ends.

    A week in, my build is running perfectly fine. I'll need to upgrade my PSU and video card eventually. I'm glad I finally have an i5 though because my GTX 460 was feeling the bottlenecking. Now my video card is working near full load for DotA2 :]. I only have a 500W PSU, I'm gonna upgrade to 700W eventually and either run SLI GTX 460 or get a more expensive card. That'll be a while from now though.
