Is there any reason to buy a soundcard as well if I have the Fiio E7/9? I game for over 20 hours/week. In the case it is worth buying a soundcard now is the time to do it(ordered all my PC parts yesterday).

Do I need a soundcard if I already have an Amp & USB DAC?

Hi IMHO I don't see any necessity of using a dedicated sound card in your condition, assuming gaming is the primary task.
E7/E9 combo should be adequate to handle that work.
But if you are using speaker systems you may consider a sound card instead.
just headphone use.
