I upgraded to that from the extreme audio and there was a great difference, and even the extreme audio sounded a hell of a lot better than any onboard so I'd say go for it.

Looks like a nice sound card to me...I am sure you will be pleased.

I have one that is half that price and it sounds great

If you have ears the size of a microwave (first thing I saw) then get it. I find onboard sound to be more than adequate.
