Will a cheap USB sound card from Turtle Beach likely be an improvement from my on-board Realtek Audio?

I'm very hesitant to replace my (now crackling and very problematic) on-board sound with a USB sound card. Problem is - my budget is very low, and I'd ideally like to go for something cheap. I'm looking at the Turtle Beach Amigo 2. I realize this won't be the best quality - but will it likely be better than, or at least as good as my on-board audio? If not, what's the minimum I could pay to get a device of this quality?
