Welcome to the forums! Firstly, would be better if you made your own thread, but...

At a glance: an i5 CPU, dual core or the quad core, is ample for music production, however, i'd go for a beefier soundcard, as that one isnt much better than onboard

Consider one of the 64mb cached drives, 1TB or 640GB, choice is yours, the 8mb cached drives will give you longer loading times on apps, saving, copy pasting small files and bootups.

However, if you aren't gonna be going for a more expensive speaker system, I probably wouldnt bother at all, and just stick with onboard :/

Would be better to remove cpu cooler unless u intend to overclock,and as sleinous said try and go for a good soundcard for music production(bit obvious) ;-). I guess 8gb ram helps in music,sleinous will help you with that and tell you if it isnt worth it. And try and go for the 22inch 1080p monitor...only £30 more...

Otherwise good spec,enjoy
