#Basic CD-ROM ?'s

I am thinking about getting a CD-ROM soon and have a few basic questions: 1) Do I have to have Windows 3.1 to use CD-ROM, or can I just stick to DOS 5.0? I'm not a big Windows fan, but it looks like a lot of the CD-ROM applications require it. 2) I have a Soundblaster Pro Basic (no MIDI). Will I have to upgrade to the full Soundblaster Pro, or get another sound card, in order to get a CD-ROM to work? I guess that's all for new. I'm hoping to spend about $500 for a package that comes with some CDs and won't be a big hassle to set up. Any suggestions out there?
