Soundcard?

Hi all! I am wondering weather or not to get a soundcard/audio interface. My setup right now is a lenovo thinkpad edge with an intel i5 and my main DAW is FL Studio. I mostly produce electronic and hiphop, and plan on getting some midi controllers in the future for recording my music live. Also, dont soundcards take some load off of your cpu? Should I invest in an audio interface and if so what would be some recomendations.
 
If you use a built-in one right now, then buying an external one is definitely a good idea. Two main advantages are (possibly) shorter latency and fewer interferences, noises etc, especially for laptops (really useful for recording from external sources, but that doesn't relate to MIDI). I'm not that much into current interfaces so I unfortunately can't recommend any specific one.
