What rig are you going to use?  You can certainly do both rig control and digital modes from the PC using a soundcard interface, but how difficult it is to set up will depend on the software in use and the rig.  You mentioned CI-V so that sounds like an Icom rig to me.  Usually the rig control is handled by a serial port using the CAT/CI-V commands.  If the rig does not support PTT via CAT/CI-V, then you need another virtual serial port.  The rigblaster plug and play will work with several different software programs; which one are you planning on using?  Depending on the rig, this should work fine with either MIXW or HRD/DM780.
