actually the CX 600 its ok for that build may it can handle a cross fire with another 270x or gtx 660...
with that mother board forget about a hardcore OC...
you shold get an avarage of 40 FP on most demmanding games... if you will go with nvidia at las gtx 660TI to mach the 270X...

sound cards are great if you are planning to listen LP quality audio, 128bit audio... for gmes is useless unless you have a very good home theatre

Yes it's pretty balanced. But I don't like that PSU maybe get XFX or Seasonic? Also, if you're overclocking in the future then get a 990 board. I own the Asus Xonar soundcard and it's okay doesn't make a huge difference. You get this control panel that is similar to the enhancement tab but with a bit more features.

well some motherboards already have 7.1 channels out with optic fibre's out, you need a good sound sistem to get advantage..
with a sound card the quality of audio is improoved with both: better hardware and better software also you can encode the sound of your old LP vinil discs (recording music, etc) with no quality lost to get a "lossless" format audio and also you can reproduce any audio format with the best quality available, only for audiophiles, or audio editing

commonly a regular computer cant reproduce even a CD with the same qualitty as a CD player
