    How will they connect the speakers?
    I agree you don't need one, but you do if you want speakers as OP does.

    I guess you could use an RCA splitter. Personally I wouldn't, I'd rather use headphones if going down that route

    Behringer USB vs motherboard sound
    The sound quality is probably better, but the latency is probably worst with the Behringer USB.
    The only low latency USB audio interfaces are from RME.

    i like this build
    please don't buy this old ssd format, it has to be a m.2
    Samsung 970 with 500 gb is recommended
    it will make a BIG difference in everything you do.
    5400 rpm is recommended for storage drives, lasts longer and is quieter, without any noticeable difference in performance.

    get an Audio interface, a small one doesn't cost much, you have a solid ASIO driver and you can connect proper monitors.
    presonus is ok, focusrite scarlet is recommended, i would not go in the m-audio/behringer direction here.

    get at least the e5 Monitors, and send them back if needed, till you get 2 decent ones.
    take your time, patience is important ;)

    honestly i think you have to spend more for monitors (x2), they will outlast this machine and many more to come in the future.

    I agree. I'd only advice to buy a cheap internal (since they build it for you) pci sound card because only for the native ASIO drivers you can take better advantage (when it comes to latency) of your PC's power. If the stock sound chip of the motherboard has native ASIO drivers don't buy an internal one.

    A jack-to-RCA cable would be good enough from what I understand from the OP.

    buying the latest and greatest always has its price and low value
    probably best idea is to buy a used 2800x machine for 800-1200.

    and spend 500-700 for a focusrite scarlett 2i2 + 2 proper Speakers

    If you will record with mic then the tower must be silent. So look for a silent/fanless graphics card.

    If you're not interested in music, they're redundant.
