Your thoughts please, I'll probably do a major upgrade in approx 2 years time, until then I'm looking at merely buying a reasonably priced graphics card, but please note that I don't do gaming, it would be purely for streaming films and sports. My main interest is music and I stream and download music all the time, tastes from classical/opera to Pink Floyd. So, do I stick with the onboard Creative Soundcore Audio, such as it is or can anybody suggest a separate sound card that will make a big difference to what I already have. Those are the only changes that I'm looking to do for the time being, the rest, is as I say for a complete revamp in approx 2 years.
My system at the moment is as follows:-
Mobo Gigabyte Z170X Gaming 7 Rev 1;
CPU i7 6700K;
Cooler Noctua NH-U14S;
RAM Corsair CMK16GX4M2B3000C15 Vengeance LPX 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4 3000 MHz;
Storage Samsung 970 EVO 1TB;
PSU BeQuiet 850 W Dark Pro 11;
Monitor Dell U2715H;
Case NZXT H440;
Speakers Logitech Z623 2.1;
Headphones Sennheiser HD598SE.
My approximate budget is £500.00
Thanks for your assistance, it's much appreciated.

It becomes a bit chicken and egg at that point.
