I was thinking of buying an Asus Xonar DGX sound card to improve my headset's microphone quality as I have seen reviews online in which this sound card will help, but is the audio output BETTER from my onboard sound or will the DGX blow my onboard sound out of the water?

Nope. Don't waste your money.

Unless you're an audiophile, it probably won't.

I actually couldn't underclock my 5 year old GPU to make it as slow as a next-gen console.

Your headset has a crappy mic to begin with so getting a sound card won't make a difference. 

My personal rig - 4790k 4.8Ghz, Asus Z97 Pro (wi-fi ac), Corsair Dominator Plat 4x8GB, SLI GTX 1080 TI FE, Samsung 850 Evo 1TB, Crucial MX100 512GB, EVGA G3 1000W, and cooled by a hardline liquid cooling loop.

No such thing as a gaming headset with a good mic.

Mod Mic m8. mod mic.
