P.S. I didn't put an external sound card in as I don't know whether you already have one and how much you want to spend on one etc.

That sounds pretty good if I have the cash should I upgrade the processor? (stupid question?)

Wouldn't be a bad idea. However, if you were going to do it, I'd get an i7 quad core. This will, however, cost ~£160 more as you will need to add a discrete GPU. It wouldn't be a bad idea if you can afford it.
