If you've already got an interface you're happy with for your guitar then its a good idea to leave the sound card for now. If you're happy with your current onboard audio then the HD audio on your new mobo will give far better quality than your old one (I'm assuming it's currently ac97). Whilst there will probably be *some* improvement with a discrete card it's probably worth waiting and seeing how happy you are with the quality of the new setup before buying something else and to be honest the difference between them for output audio quality will be fairly small, the only big gain with using a seperate card is if you're going to use it to do audio recording but since you're not and since you're on such a limited budget I would personally leave it and see how you get on.
