Trying another build...

Yea, I would dump the sound card, and go with a better video card such as a 9800GT or HD 5770 as somebody has apparently suggested.
 
I always like to think that if your motherboard is more expensive than your processor something is wrong. While the motherboard is one of the most important components of your computer, I feel like the processor should be more expensive.

You could try: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819115222&cm_re=i3-_-19-115-222-_-Product

and

It will be a bit more expensive, but you might find it worthy.

This is what I bought recently to replace my dead AMD processor:
