A big NO on the Cooler Master PSU. Unless you just want to kill your other components when it blows. Go with a solid brand. Here's three:

Newegg.com - SeaSonic SS-650HT 650W ATX12V v2.31/EPS 12V v2.92 SLI Ready 80 PLUS BRONZE Certified Active PFC Power Supply - Power Supplies

Newegg.com - Antec EarthWatts EA650 650W Continuous Power ATX12V Ver.2.2 / EPS12V version 2.91 SLI Certified CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS Certified Active PFC "compatible with Core i7/Core i5" Power Supply

Newegg.com - CORSAIR CMPSU-650TX 650W ATX12V / EPS12V SLI Ready CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS Certified Active PFC Compatible with Core i7 Power Supply

Ditto on PSU.

Any reason you need a sound card, when your onboard video is more powerful? 7.1 vs 10 channels. Unless you like Creative more, which I understand.
