I already have the case, included more for space issues if anyone knows of any.
Iffy about the sound card, not really sure what I want from it. Planning on using the pc for recording as much as gaming, so I want something quality with a optical port on it.
Also planning on getting a firewire pci-e card, but I don't think there's much variance between those so I'm not too worried.
