I put in a 7.1 setup sound card with better sound. The motherboard already offers decent sound. But you wanted a sound card. And you can pick up a monitor with the remaining.

That sound card really won't do anything over and above what the motherboard can do, so you're pretty much throwing away money on that. I would also get a little bigger monitor myself:

The rest of the build above looks great :)

Edit: Not the one directly above, I meant Blackbirds. The APU is a very poor CPU, and is a waste of money when buying a graphics card as well.

Yeah, that one is regular LED, the one I posted was IPS, but that's preference I guess. 2ms vs 5ms response time isn't noticeable. I changed from a 1ms ASUS to a 6ms IPS from HP and don't see any difference in response time, but the colors and picture quality is much better.
