G'day J.P.
you may not need a new sound card.
While I don't know what US prices are like (assuming you are in the US) the Creative Live 5! and Audigy range are reasonably good, you just need to make sure you're using the very latest drivers and then find a soundfont(s) you like!
If you are primarily concerned with the MIDI synth then a softsynth of some variety will probably solve your problem
Do a search for softsynths and/or sound fonts on the forum. Lotsa discussion and links.
If you can locate a copy of the now discontinued Yamaha syxg50 softsynth you won't be disappointed.
