you are spending about 300euros an a case but you are squeezing the diam when it comes to the motherboard? dude i thought i was bad at math
but if you dont want an ati/amd bases motherboard then the nvidia nforce 630 based motherboards will satify you. most motherboards in this price and formfactor category have an onboard graphics card which doesnt force you to use it.
afaik you still need an extra sound card. the ati cards simply patch the audio signal through. in addition to a soundcard (since its a digital signal you can stick with the onboard sollution) you need a cable from an internal spdif port to your soundcard. if you dont want to spend 5 euros an an adaptor there are plenty of how tos how to build one of your own by using an old cd-rom audio cable.
