Just a brief quick response, I'll be more thorough when you have time.

All motherboards have integrated audio, so you don't technically need a sound-card. Sound-cards really should go the way of the dodo but they haven't yet. Sound cards still provide a higher level of audio, but it is all a matter of preference.

All motherboards have built in network adapters as well. Networking shouldn't be a problem.

For a video card if you want a low-end card, consider a AMD 4670. Great price/performance. A 9600GT will work well too.
