Sound card for electronic music?

[brianhoneycutt]

Hi all,

I am trying to determine whether I need a high end internal sound card for electronic music production.

Will this determine whether or not music made on my DAW has low latency?

And can I hook up monitors to an internal sound card, or do I need an external interface for that?

If I get the external interface only, and a cheap soundcard, will the music produced on my DAW be lower quality/higher latency?

Thanks so much!
