introduction of a novice(Help me decide)

[santu]

Hi to All!
This is Santu from Puri,Orissa.My locality does not offer me much of a choice in shopping for hi-fi components.I'm planning to buy my 1st hi-fi separates in the coming month.I've solely relied upon various online magazines especially whathifi.com.I've settled upon yamaha as500 amp and MA BX2.I'll be using my pc as the source.Pls help me in whether I should go for a soundcard or a DAC.My only concern is music(lossy n lossless both).
