Hi i am building my first hackintosh and would like advice on what soundcard to buy that would work straight from the box? I would like it to be a card with front panel box for headphones etc.

thanks in advance guys.

buy the right mainboard and you can use onboard audio.

I have an asus p8z77-v-lx but would love to use good sound card to dual boot with windows and not onboard sound tbh.

If you want to go USB.
this card works natively in OS x (windows needs a driver) and has pretty good input/output for usb.

As far as a PCIe card, I do not know. I have been using the onboard when I'm not using my USB cards.
