First Client Build Project!

So I own a computer repair business. This is my from my very first client! He basically had a really old Gateway. He's a music producer, so he uses his PC for strictly music. So he paid me for a custom build and labor. He basically doesn't know any about computers. So i helped him choose his hardware and picked out the hardware most suitable for HIS needs. So before you guys freak out and talk your shit about the hardware i chose for HIS budget and HIS needs for a computer, Let me clarify why i chose this hardware. First of all he uses his computer for strictly music software and recording. He doesn't even use internet for it, he had a certain budget of under $1000 INCLUDING the fee of my services, the hardware itself was about $670. The rest went to me for my services and pricing. So i had to go with an AMD build. he wanted a mini PC, but for the limited choices for a mini-itx build, I had to go with micro-atx. Here's the specs. I'll caption each picture. Hope you guys like it! I had fun building it, like I do with any build project!

 

Specs:

Gigabyte 78LMT-USB3 Motherboard

AMD FX 4300 Black Edition Quad-Core CPU

MSI Radeon 7770 Ghz Edition

ASUS Xonar DG 5.1 Surround Sound Card

Corsair Vengeance DDR3 1600 Mhz 4GB RAM

EVGA Supernova Modular 750 Watt PSU

ASUS 24x DVDRW Optical Drive

Tascam US-322 External USB Amp

WD Blue 320 GB HDD

Thermaltake V3 Black Edition Mid-Tower Case

The rest of the pics will be on imgur, just click the link. So overall it was a solid build, although the case did not allow ANY, and i mean ANY cable management. I did my best to tidy it up, but despite its lack of cable management, its a solid micro-atx case. However the pci brackets are made of that cheap, shitty, bendable metal, so it was hard to remove them to install the hardware, although what do you expect for a $40 case. But i did have fun building it! This was a pretty damn easy project, not my best work obviously for a basic build.
