OK, this is my first build, I wanted to know, is this a good build, what should I change, all that. Also, should I buy a sound card? And if so, which one? Also, should I get an SSD, or is it just extra money? You guys are the pro's so I'll leave it up to you.

A couple things:

1.) that ram is pretty slow, I would look to at least a 1600 cas 9 set or preferably 1866 or 2133. Only really need 8 gb for gaming and I would put the money saved into a SSD which yes is worth it

2.) personally I would rather have a noctua nhd14 as a CPU cooler vs the h80i

3.) why a micro ATX mobo in a ATX case? You will get more features from an ATX mobo

4.) do you plan to xfire at some point because that psu is way overkill

You ain't need a sound card, you could replace 1TB HDD with 256GB SSD, or run SSD+HDD on raid 1TB HDD+ 128GB SSD.
