what's your budget for a build? and do you need anything to go with the computer tower?

the integrated graphics onboard the i5-8500 are better than a GT 710...

This. Music production doesn't need a graphics card for anything. Just use the built in graphics. If really need display port or something (not that the 710 junk card has that) then get a motherboard that has it. Your motherboard offer more display outputs than a GT 710 and better performance. The GT 710 is years old rebrand of an even older card from 2012 which was rubbish when it launched and is abominable now. Integrated graphics are better in every way.

 

Seeing as you don't need a GPU you might get more help if you ask this to be moving to the PC building section.

what are you planing to do with this machine? only workstation and music related stuff? no gaming?

[i_build_nanosuits]

If you don't plan to play games on this you don't need a graphics card, use the integrated graphics on the CPU...this would be a lot better than the build you posted:

That's good, although for about £20 you can get a PCIe M.2 SSD which will be faster than Sata. https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/products/internal-hard-drive/#i=85,83&A=8000000000,250000000000&sort=price&page=1
