It's a bit difficult to give accurate advice, when talking about a processor that's not yet available. You are unlikely to have a real power requirement much above 400w, as things stand. It's probably wise to allow a little more as, whilst you don't state monitor resolution, or what capability you want, I suspect you may upgrade your graphics card, before long. Whilst it is probably more than you need, I would think a power supply around 500w would be wise. I would think either Seasonic M12II 520w 80 Plus Bronze, or Rosewill Capstone 550M 80 Plus Gold. Both those have the advantage of being modular. When there are details of the CPU, you propose, it may be possible to drop PSU rating. If you are getting "Black edition", to overclock, you will need to add an aftermarket cooler. As regards sound card, mobo has pretty reasonable onboard sound. I would suggest wait and see (or hear). You can always add a xonar later, if you find onboard inadequate. RAM is fine. Alternatives might be Crucial Ballistic Sport or GSkill Ares. Really not a lot to be gained above 1600 MHz.
