Reply to Do I need to add to monitors?

Hey community , I recently purchases some Mackie mr8's (that are due to arrive next week) and was curious as to whether or not I needed to buy a soundcard for them or a better amp (they are active so they have an amp built in). Bearing in mind I'm on a budget, would a soundcard/amp really make that much of a quality difference in comparison to my laptop's soundcard (which is extremely basic)? I have no real idea about amps but if I was going to buy a soundcard, it would probably be the audio 4 dj as it seems the best for my budget. I am using these monitors exclusively for producing (EDM; dubstep, house, dnb, electronica etc.).
So, what do?
