I know this sounds stupid, but I can play sound clips (youtube etc) on the PC. Do I need another one?
How much are these items approx?
Thanks for the info so far.

You also need some sort of input to record with. Quality issues aside built in soundcards generally aren't any good for multi-track recording as there tends to be a delay between what you hear and what the soundcard records (the geeks call this latency). Dedicated soundcards solve this problem with the added benefit of higher quality inputs and outputs, line/mic level inputs etc.
If you have a mic input built in to your computer and the right leads you could try
Kristal , it's free so you've nothing to lose. It's enough to give your soundcard a whirl to see how bad the latency is and get you used to the basics of software based multi-tracks.
