I am struggling to find the best PC for my needs: (1000-1500$)
external soundcard with 2 channels.
Headphones
Cubase and another music software.
monitors.
good graphic card, not the best for now,
Upgrade options.
16 GB RAM and 1TB (I heard it's recommended)
ssd
quite processor.(important)

I GOT THIS list from the store-

Intel Core i7 6700 3.4Ghz 8MB Cache s1151 - Tray

Cooler- Scythe Katana 4 SCKTN-4000 1

Motherboard- Asus B150M-C LGA1151, Intel B150, DDR4, 2xPCI-E, VGA, DVI, HDMI, DP 1

Memory- HyperX FURY 2x8GB DDR4 2133Mhz CL14 Kit 1

Intel HD Graphics 530

Hard disk- Western Digital Caviar Blue WD10EZEX 1TB Sata III 1

SSD: Corsair Force LE CSSD-F120GBLEB 120GB SSD Sata III TLC Retail 1

DVD: Samsung SH-224DB DVD±RW x24 Sata

On Board 7.1 Channel Audio
On Board 10/100/1000

Power- Supply- Antec 400W BP400PX 1
case- Antec VSP-5000 ATX Mid Tower Black 1

I would like to ask you-

1. What do you think? what would you change ? maybe different companies?
I know I7 processor is considered the best, but for music production-
is there any better I5 model?
2. 400W Power- Supply- is it enough?
3. The video card is not is included - Is It Necessary?

thanks :)

I would at least get a decent graphics card, you want to use the i7, not an i5, and I would go with at least a 550 or 600w psu.

Some programs are gpu accelerated. If he is ONLY ever going to use a music program NOTHING else, than sure you don't need a graphics card. But that's not most people. He also stated he wanted a decent graphics card, did you ignore that?
