Im mainly using it for games, however i will be using it for movies and youtube and things like that, im not sure about what you mean with the soundcard and speakers, will they not work together?
Also those arent the speakers im using, the actual speakers are Logitech Z130

Your motherboard already have audio output for simple audio use, like youtube and movies. Good enough for 2.0 speakers.
Also has network output for lan/ethernet connection.
You also add one PCI for wi-fi. Why ? :D

wow thats a bit far out of my price range, I was told that intel would be better to go with at my price range, is that not true?
