One thing you can try with your soundcard is moving it to a different slot, as that may move it further away from what's causing the interference. There are actually lots of things you can try, and I don't remember most of them as I've never had that kind of problem myself. I believe things can be done to shield the card, which may help.
If you're going to buy new equipment, I'd think it would be best to look for something that places the A-D convertors outside the computer - either a stand alone A-D convertor fed into your current soundcard's digital input (though if it doesn't have a digital input then you can rule that one out! ) or a soundcard with its convertors in an external breakout box (though not all cards with breakout boxes put their convertors in there) - as that will allow you to move them away from the source of interference.
Anyway, enough about that! I don't think that it's necessarily bad that the effects aren't in stereo, as at least it means that you're not cluttering everything under a huge swirling blanket of effects, which could really take away from the track. I like the lead guitar sounds, and you've played great solos there. Far from there being too much bass, I think the level of the bass guitar is about right, and actually the sound is fine as well, but I'd have probably picked a sound with a slightly fuller bottom end, just to give the whole thing a more powerful sound (is that a Precision-type bass by any chance, or just something that sounds like one?). The sound you've got there though, is a little like Mike's QE2 era bass sound, which is no bad thing. I like the track, though - I've been having fun playing along to it
