On topic:

Great job at managing those cables! It looks like your case restricts much air flow anyways, so it's a good idea to allow for the most optimal air flow for your setup. Once suggestion would be to finish up those sata cables, maybe tuck them above the drives or below. That helps the added fan to push more air to the gpu.

Off topic: Your PSU could stand to be upgraded, but are you overclocking? If your at stock then your fine as long as you havn't had any issues prior.

Thanks, yeah kenkickr gave me some advice I was going to test out on the SATA cables tomorrow. I will try out a couple things, and see if I can get them cleaned up.

I just started overclocking my GPU last month, and my CPU is stock at the moment. If I get any stability issues, I can always set the GPU back to stock, since every game runs fine anyhow, I was just getting some extra FPS. So far though, everything has been running fine.

Yeap, as I mentioned earlier, I am probably going to try that today if my new IDE cable, etc. shows up. Since I will have the case out anyhow.

Look power supplies are useful if you have a bomb. I got a normal computer with low budget and my low budget power supply have 3 protective features and even if you dfont have a windows program that regulate the p/s fan speed it do it by itself. protected by a fuse and protected by overcurrent during shutdown in caseof thunder storm. Most of todays power supplies have those basic features as much as normal cars of todays even cheapers have airbags and ABS systems.
Up to yuo if you want some bling-bling in your computer the most important is that you have enough wattage in your P/S.

try turn around sata cables from other side of the case , or take a pen and role the sata cable on it ( it will be like a ribbon)
