i'm looking to spend around £200 on pc sound for listening to music(i have good quality files), i want a soundcard and speakers (no more than 2.1) for music, i will play games but don't care about sound in those.

I'd like to disagree - I have a cheap Genius SW-HF 5.1 5000 speaker set and the difference between the onboard Audio and my old 2006 SB X-Fi is colossal. Got my SB X-Fi titanium few years back and the sound improved even more :)

And believe me, the difference will be even bigger with decent speakers like Harman Kardon SoundSticks or Logitech Z623 or a sound card like Asus Xonar DSX or higher /or even Sound Blaster, but they are more gaming oriented. Great piece of hardware nonetheless/...
