is integrated enough?

[Swane]

i am buying a mobo and i want to know if integrated sound card and network card are enough to handle gaming.
a slight change in the audio will not effect me but if there is a giant impact to the audio that will be a problem.
same with network im not hosting any servers so i don't need something fancy but does it affect?

You only need a sound card if you're an audiophile or have a business need for it. The onboard audio will be good enough for a vast majority of the population.

By network card, I'm assuming you mean a wireless adapter? They're decent. I'd never recommend them unless it's your absolutely only way to get internet.

no i mean a regular card, without it you can't connect to the router

You'll be fine. Gaming network cards can help but only by a very small amount. The on board sound. Won't slow anything down. Most gaming headsets are designed around onboard sound. But if you are going to use high grade audio headphones you'll want a good sound card.

You mean the onboard LAN then? If so yes, it's more than adequate assumig your internet speeds are good.
