Does the MSI b450 tomahawk have good sound and internet build-in cards???

Yes, the sound is OK, depends on what you're after specifically... and LAN is fine.

No worries... I actually meant, are you gonna be using a headset or monitor/speakers, as the quality of those are more important than the on-board soundcard so to speak. By that I mean, if you get a crappy headset, it doesn't matter how good the soundcard is as it'll still sound crappy.

I don't know of many motherboards that come with "audiophile" grade sound built into them. For that you will need an add in sound card or something that plugs into the usb. Like the dragonfly DAC or something. Or you can use your video card depending on what it is. For the video card you would need to use HDMI or the optical output if it has one. Then connec it to a reciever or something that accepts those. My system is hooked up to my home theater system so I use the HDMI cable routed to my reciever which sends the video to my tv and decodes the sound.

 

If you are just talking about hooking up a gaming headset then the audio jack should work just fine. I also think some gaming headsets use USB connections and have a built in DAC. How good they sound will depend on how good the DAC and amp section is on those headsets. For instance I have a cheap logitech headset that is usb. They sound, well, cheap lol. I honestly wouldn't bother with an external DAC unless you have really nice headphones or a good amp and speakers.
