Forgive my ignorance, I'm new at this game. I recently bought these for my PC, and i'm looking for a soundcard. Any suggestions?

If it's for music get an external dac... The speakers are quite sensitive to the quality of the source. A good, well designed external dac can really make these speakers shine.

are those USB? any recommendations on where i can read up on these? Thank you for you for the enlightenment!

You can read up about them right here.
 
Honestly, an ASUS Xonar sound card would be fine for these speakers. But an external USB DAC that is well made would be slightly better.
 
There are many companies, and you read about them here. I am partial to Little Dot and the DAC Magic from CSW.

I have the STX and the A5s. They sound really good. You can't go wrong with your decision.
