Arrow Sound card vs. Integrated sound on p35-ds3r MOBO

Is the integrated sound on the p35-ds3r any good? Does anyone have this board and can give some input about the integrated sound?

I'm trying to decide if I should get a sound card. I also have a Logitech x230 2.1 speakers, they aren't great, but decent.

I know sound cards are useless if your speakers suck and vice versa. So would the sound quality of a Logitech x230 with a p35-ds3r integrated sound be good quality?

I was thinking about a CHEAP sound card (something from creative around $50), nothing expensive.... so if a cheap sound card doesn't make a difference then I guess I'll use integrated sound. Expensive sound card + cheap speakers would be stupid.
