Would really appreciate it if anyone could tell me what Optical Drive and Sound Card I should get for my mainly gaming pc build (http://pcpartpicker.com/p/4RMYD3) since I don't know anything about electronics and what makes an Optical Drive or a Sound Card 'good'. Mainly gonna use the Optical Drive to watch Blu-Rays and maybe listen to some CDs from time to time. Wanna spend about 100$ total but willing to go a bit above that if you deem it necessary. Any help is greatly appreciated!

That motherboard has Realtek ALC1150 sound built in, that's probably as good as any sound card you're going to get even if you blow the whole $100 on it.

With an optical drive you're just buying a better name and faster read/writes if you get a more expensive one, neither of which you need for watching Blurays really. I'd get this one:
