What's your budget? Also, do you need a case?

The sound card probably isn't needed; most motherboards have pretty good to excellent onboard sound these days. The PSU might be a bit suspect; I can't find any reviews for it (unless it's the Thermaltake EVO, but that's a 750W).

Depending on your budget, I'd consider going with a newer socket interface. The LGA775 socket is the previous Intel generation, and the current generation (LGA1156/1366) is going to be replaced within a few months by the new Sandy Bridge socket interface. If you do decide to stick with the LGA775, I'd consider getting a bigger motherboard since the one you picked is a microATX, which means it has fewer features ans is more crowded.
