A lot of motherboards have onboard sound that is almost as good as many of the sound cards available.
If you do want a sound card, then Creative makes some of the best in my opinion. The X-FI has a good reputation.
I don't think a sound card is necessary, although if you spend a bit of money then you can certainly get excellent sound out of FS.

Just make sure it has all the stuff you want, like if you want surround sound then check that it has surround sound output and stuff.
