Outputting sound

Hi, just building myself a SFF to go under the telly with a blu ray player in. I have fitted a 5450 graphics card in it but need some advice concerning the sound. I want to make use of my Pioneer surround sound which has 2 x optical in. Which sound card would i need to output to this, i have a budget of about £70, thanks.

But i was led to belive that a dedicated sound card would give better results.

Edit: just checked my motherboard and it does not have S/PDIF output.

Standard case, its the Lian Li PC-C32B.

But will the cheapest card allow me to output to the optical in on the surround sound system.
