In that case, I would go for the i5-6500. It's on the newest platform and uses DDR4.
Yes, you can assemble GPU and Sound Card onto new motherboard at the same time as you build the rest of the system. In fact, that's the way it should be done.
EDIT: This is going to pain me to say, because I am a big advocate of soundcards, but you don't actually NEED a soundcard for decent sound. Onboard sound has gotten pretty good. But in fairness to your build budget, whatever it is, I am telling you this.
It's more of a "nice to have" item to have now, if your budget can afford it, because they are a little better than motherboard sound. The $30 to $100 for a soundcard can be used elsewhere of more importance if your build budget is tight.
I'm with everyone else; if you're building a new PC from the ground up and not simply upgrading an existing PC, go with the 6500.
Honestly, either would do just fine for gaming, but you may as well go with the newer architecture.
Not that it affects which CPU you should go with, but may I ask which GPU you have?

what about the xonar STX or creative labs (highest version)? not worth? i got an Sennheiser Urbanite XL, for this i planing to buy that sound card and i collect some money for it
1150realtek onboard like that kind of dedicated sound cards? i interest in clarity\bass at music ... what do you think?
The headphone you have is a low impedance model, so there is no need of a dedicated high-power headphone amp from cards like the Xonar STX or SB ZxR. The onboard Realtek 1150 should serve you well.
If you do find the onboard sound to be inadquate, you can alway opt for an external USB soundcard later.

The type of headphone you have is the biggest differentiation of sound quality. Studio quality headphones like the k701 if you want the top class sound quality, I know that is a very old recommendation. The type of headphone like how much power the headphone require from its impedance. Nowadays onboard sound is very good compared to the old day. The 1150 realtek is big step-up from my Realtek ALC892 on my current motherboard, Almost all board now come with amplifiers build so even headphones with high power sound good, even low impedance headphone benefit from amplification for sound quality.
So the three main factors for good sound is a good dac, a good amplifier and finally headphones.
Nowadays I don't care about sound as much as my hearing is not as sensitive anymore . Always take care of your ears and not play it at high volume. Have plenty of rest from loud sound too. Do not wear earbud or headphones in noisy public area without noise cancellation or isolation.

yea i know the k701 .... what's you opinion about Audio-Technica ATH-MSR7 SonicPro, beyerdynamic dt 880 and or HD 558?
I only owned the dt 880. The rest I am not too sure how they sound like. I hear the dt 880 when my hearing is stronger so it would be different compared to now. Dt 880 is a good headphone but it needs amplification to perform well. I don't like to use audiophile speak but the dt 880 is what is describe as having good mids and decent high.
I suggest you get a headphone called Superlux 681 Their really good and sound as good if not better as headphone like the dt 880. Other Superlux headphone with the same design works ok too. You can get the Superlux 681 like $50 on eBay. The Superlux 668 is the most balance sound. If you love bass than Superlux 681 the red Colour work great. The Superlux 681 is describe as deep bass in a concert hall feeling. Yes I own this before . It sound like that. There are also 681b for balance and 681F for high frequency. Sadly my headphones are all worn out. Their is to damage after long term use. That is why I recommend the Superlux also known as giant killers. Their cheap and very excellent. Superlux headphone resemble Akg headphones like 701.

good, last questions> which sound card is better for music?
http://pcpartpicker.com/part/asus-sound-card-xonaressencestx
or
http://pcpartpicker.com/part/creative-labs-sound-card-70sb151000000
?
last question, what a headphone that doesn't need amplification?
There are not many headphones worth getting that do not need amplification. Either way id still probably want a DAC. But Sennheiser, Beyerdynamic, and Audio Technica are the top ones IMO.

i got it.. i will go to a
beyerdynamic MMX 300 Headset
I wouldn't if you are spending money on another sound card. Youll want a 3.5mm connection to make use of that sound card. That MMX 300 is USB.
