I'm buying parts for a new computer and I have some questions:
1. Do I need to buy a sound card or is one built into the motherboard?
2. Should I buy a new case or could I just use an old shitty one?
- I realized how things fit in there matters, but I don't know how each part would go and yeah..Idk.
3. Are fans generally provided with the case?
More to come as I need more answers.
Thanks in advance.

You don't need a sound card, you don't need a new case unless you need the space, and I think most cases nowadays come with some fairly nice fans. If they don't, then get some Iceberg fans.

Okay...
I've picked out a CPU, motherboard, gfx card, RAM cards, a case, CD drive, and a hard drive...Anything I forgot?

Well besides the Keyboard and Mouse...
You forgot your power supply buddy.
Also suggested that you buy 1 or 2 more fans, because standard fans arent that great, and fans are cheap.
DVD drive is very useful too, expecially when u get burners for both CD and DVD drives.

Whoops, forgot to mention the power supply. Got one...I don't know if my busget has room for extra fans/drives...I'm barely scraping by with what I have now. Also, I realize I didn't get a mouse or keyboard, I plan on just using some old ones around my house, same with a moniter.

I'm jealous. I'd get a new monitor in the near future if I were you.
