There is no soundcard in the spec you posted. I wouldn't add any, you may want to try onboard audio first. Homeplugs will provide a more reliable connection compare to a wireless card.

Yes, it's a good setup. You'll get high with it.
If I was going to SLI 980ti's I would go for a 1000w PSU. I'd want to stay well clear from the area of uncertainty.

Looks like a good screen. Has everything you'd want, 144hz, 1ms, etc. Only thing you might want to consider is that a 980 Ti is definitely overkill for 1080p unless it's just to stay in the super high frame rates. Better off going for something like a 1440p panel or something similar, thought 144hz would likely be off the cards due to budget. It's your choice really as to whether you'd prefer resolution or framerate (considering the frame rates are still gonna be pretty high even at 1440p).
