The onboard sound these says is actually quite good
Personally, I think a good sound card is a world of difference over onboard and would recommend picking one up at some point.
Speakers also effect the quality as well.
But, a sound card is also a simple & fast upgrade.
Having said that:
If it were me & budget was an issue, it would be the last piece I would look for, even if it meant getting one later down the line.
Other things are far more important, and not so easily upgraded.
As mentioned before, a good quality MOBO and PSU should be top priority.
And possibly try to squeeze in a SSD for the OS.
