i think your sound card is a bit overkill for you speakers, for those speakers. The lanparty onboards shoud be ok for them.
P.S Preator will love your board

If your not sound-based gamer, getting the MSI K8N Neo4 with its onboard 24bit hardware audio might be a better choice, save some money there
 As for compatability, the video card is an AGP one and the motherboard a PCIE one so one of them is gonna have to go (ideally the videocard). Also, whats the intent of the machine?

for a midrange card a 6600/6600GT or an x700Pro...or possibly an x800 (assuming the price ever drops like it's supposed to)

for all intents and purposes they are pretty much identicle (the PCIe/AGP bridge for converting puts a small performance hit on them)
