That would be a nice gaming rig.. Very similar to my own! I would recommend upgrading to a 4GB (2x2GB) RAM kit and getting a 7200RPM hard drive. 5900 just isn't fast enough.

A Realtek high definition audio is a built-in audio chipset on some motherboards. I don't know if they make discrete sound cards at all. The motherboard you picked out has onboard audio, like the vast majority of motherboards these days. If you want a nice discrete sound card there are some options out there.

i highly recommend you to stretch your dollar to fit in a 4gb ram set up 2 x 2gb and you should switch your hdd to something that runs at 7200rpm you could downgrade your psu to 500watts
