I would wait for the ivy bridge processors and get a z77 motherboard with it.
As for the GPU for only a bit more you can get a 7850 which is about equal to a 570.
You don't need a sound card at all the one's on motherboards are better than they used to be. Lastly you won't need that much RAM I would just get this.

First of all thank you for the advice . I was reading about the new processors and it would be nice for my processor to not be outdated the day I install it . What are prices like when they first come out and how long until the price drops? I was unsure about the sound card but since I don't need one i plan on going to the 7850 with the extra money. And the RAM was suppose to be 2 sticks of 4GB *facepalm.* Thanks again.

The prices are the same for the processors. http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/ivy-bridge-benchmark-core-i7-3770k,3181.html
They aren't that much of an upgrade but if I was building my own I would want to put one in my build. Ram is so cheap now that I would upgrade to 8GB anyways The set I linked is $50 (after promo code) and 4GB will be about $30, just to keep extra for future applications without having to upgrade then.
