The prices on computer hardware change very fast, sometimes even hourly. It's best to wait until about 1-2 days before you intend to purchase, then post for a build.

Also, I noticed you said you needed a sound card. Do you actually need a discreet sound card? All motherboards these days come with pretty decent integrated sound.
