Unless you have a fairly decent speaker setup, you can drop that sound card.
Otherwise the rig is fine, wouldnt change anything.

Haha she wants the pink one. So no special sound card is needed? Just a ordinary 15-30 dollar one? She is just starting to want to record her voice and such, she plans on buying a $240 mic, not sure which exactly but can I assume it will plug into the regular mic port? Thanks for the responses, I didn't want her to buy all this blind.

If the Microphone is USB then doesnt matter what audio gear you have the sound quality wont change, everything is happening inside the mic.
If its 3.5 or 5.25mm a higher quality DAC could make a difference, though I doubt by much. That being said I am no audiophile, so could be wrong.
If its 5.25mm you will also need an adapter or something that natively supports it as well, most stuff is 3.5mm.

You are wrong, anything inside the case even a dedicated card acts like a receiver and picks up the noise from everything inside. You need to get a good quality audio solution that you can set somewhere away from the computer. The on board is great for the most part but if the op's wife is doing something mildly professional it would be to their benefit to get one that runs off USB with a few other devices.

That's the mic, I guess it is simply usb. She is saying she just wants to record her voice not really any instruments just yet. Don't know if that helps. Also i dont understand what you mean by, run usb to a alternate source from the case. Sorry if it's actually simple.

Sound is inherently analogue but USB can only carry a digital signal. So there must be a DAC (Digital to Analogue Converter) in the mic itself if it has a USB output. Digital signals inherently don't degrade or get messed with by ambient interference (a 1 or 0 is going to be a 1 or 0 no matter how garbled it is).
tl;dr
The mic has a USB output, you dont need any fancy audio gear as far as the mic is concerned.
