You do usually get better sound via an external amp, (Depends how good the amp is though)
What motherboard do you have? And what Amp. The reason I am asking is because some motherboards come with external audio connections like SPDIF-Out, which would let you connect your amp via a coxial connection.

It depends a lot too on what speakers you are going to buy/have and whether or not their sub has a built in amp already. Buying another amp could just be over kill. Now, if you are going to buy some really nice, powerful speakers, an amp would definetely be worth the purchase.
As far as speakers... I would, without a doubt, go for some good speakers and a good audiocard... it makes a world of difference.
