New Sound Card Advice

First, I have two front audio ports and would I still be able to use those with a new sound card? Second, does a sound card really improve system performance? Third, I cannot decide on what sound card to get. I wanted to keep it under $30, but still wanted a decent card. I was thinking this one,
