Why do you want to change you motherboard?
Why do you want a sound card?
What are your uses?

Cooler Master SMPS suck. Get Corsair VX450W @ 3.5k

Try flashing the BIOS.

Sound cards are useless you have very good speakers (3k+ at least), otherwise the difference will not be noticeable.

Any specific reason for sticking with nvidia? At this price ATI HD 5670 is a much better buy.

No need of corsair VX 450, go for FSP saga II 500W @ 2k.

Nokia PC Suite has nothing to do with your motherboard.

Which driver are you talking about? Try to download the latest version (If you are using a CD).
