If I get a gaming headset for my gaming pc, do I still need a sound card?
So I want to build a gaming pc with powerful sound so I can hear approaching enemies when I play FPSs. I want to get a gaming headset but I’m not sure if I get a headset, whether I need to purchase a sound card or not.

if you buy a USB headset, you will not need a sound card as you plug it straight into any free USB port on your computer, and the headset is seen by the computer as sort of a sound card in itself.
I used to use a headset with the regular jacks (the ones you find on your ipod and everywhere, i don’t know what its called lol) but when using my microphone i found nothing but problems
since i bought my USB headset, ive never had a single problem with it. hope it helps
I feel no need, generally integrated sound card on it.
