Internet... The MB comes equipted with an Ethernet LAN that will allow you to connect to the internet via a cable to your router or modem. If you need wireless instead, I've had good luck with this USB adapter: http://www.tp-link.us/products/details/?model=TL-WN722N#spec
What's nice about it, is that it comes with an 8 foot extension cable so you can position the antenna for best reception.

Sound... Again, the MB has built-in 7.1-channel audio. Unless you are an audiophile, that is all most anyone uses.

DVD drive... A simple yet good quality optical drive is not very expensive. I like this one: http://www.asus.com/Optical_Drives/DRW24B1ST/
It is usually under $20 here in the States.

Fan... The fan will depend on the size you need and color you like. Basically, they are all +12V fans of varying quality and price.

Btw, Unless you already have the gfx card purchased, might I suggest something with a bit more power. What resolution is your monitor?
