The Clarkdale does seem very promising. Aside from the lowered power consumption...

Thanks to IMC and the lack of NB, the data travel path has been significantly simplified. Please correct me if I'm wrong, but if PCI-E soundcards can now communicate directly to the CPU like discrete graphic cards, wouldn't that make them (in theory) noticeably better than their PCI counterparts?

Speaking of new CPUs, what about the 32nm Pentium G6950? Isn't it basically a less powerful, HT-less i3-530?

As for the MB, I think the GA-H55M-UD2H may be more favorable due to its "Ultra Durable" features. In my past experience, MBs with "UD" such as the EG45M-UD2H are superior to similar "UD"-less ones in terms of sonics.
