I Currently Have Edifier C3
I Play It Using My Laptops(Lenovo Laptop G505 59-379534)
On-board Sound Card And Sometimes Through Mobile Phones...

How Much Difference I Would Notice If I Play Songs Through A External Sound Card ??

I have the same speaker system. I have not tried any sound card yet, but a usb dac will definitely improve the sound quality. When I tried a creative usb card with a crap creative 2.1 speaker system, the sound quality was marginally improved. USB dacs from nuforce, fiio or odac will be good for C3.

Ok,
I Saw Two External Sound Cards
Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi 5.1 Pro And Asus Xonar U7
If I Connect Them To My PC Or Laptop(Lenovo G505S) Via Usb Will It Provide 5.1 Surround Audio ? I Mean Do I Have To Simply Plug The Usb In And Install Drivers And It Will Replace My Onboard Audio ??
How Good Are They ?

Get Xonar U7. Don't get creative for worst driver support.I don't have experience about USB sound card so i can't say.Asus Xonar U7 has much better specification.

I have found an article how to use external sound card
How to Use an External Sound Card | eHow

I guess you are using WIN 8 or WIN 8.1 are Creative doesn't have driver for WIN 8.

But for how much you are getting both?

Wow so much price difference get creative.Found out that creative does support WIN8.

Is It Good Idea To Buy Creative X Fi Pro Or Should I Go With Some Other Sound Card (Can Be Internal Too) ??

But internal sound cards can't be used in laptops.

For internal you can go with asus xonar DS.

Is
100 dB SNR & 24/96kHz(X Fi Pro) Playback Quality Good For Music And Movies Or Should I Go With 116 dB Snr & 192kHz/24(Xonar U7) ??
How Much Difference Will It Make ??

Don't go for the Creative X-Fi Pro... Better up your budget and go for the Xonar U7... It sounds better, at least to me... Btw, an X-Fi pro user here!!! :p
