I was think of using the on board sound or maybe buying a new sound card but i found that the new ati cards have digital 5.1 sound built in the hdmi. Is the hdmi digital sound better than a good sound card?

you'll be fine with the hdmi. the reason i have a soundcard is because it was cheap and had some pretty cool software. don't use onboard though. you'll get slightly better performance if you use the hdmi.
