Sound Card's really worth it?

[Nis]

Hey peeps, I always used to buy soundblaster cards, then when nvidia released the nforce boards the on-board sound seemed very good and i have not bothered since.

I am currently spec'in up a new system using the EVGA 680i mobo, is it really worth getting an add in sound card? what benefits do you get? or is the on-board ok.

Thanks a lot,

James.
