Get this CPU cooler: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835103099

You don't need the thermal compound.

You do not need a sound card.

You don't need an aftermarket cooler if you aren't planning on overclocking. Besides, that CPU can't overclock anyways.

Its good you have eliminated the sound card but try to get a 7870XT card which is much impressive is with tahiti core!
