It will be best to do your cable management now, specially cause there are less elements in the way and it will be more comfortable. Just remember to leave 1 or 2 PCI-EX connectors from the PSU depending on the GPU you're gonna get and you're good to go. That's what I do when possible, organize as much cables as I can before inserting any "interfering" element with my hands in the working place (such as GFX or any other PCI card, and in my precise case, tubing all along the case) ... then it's easier to plug all of them, even the final ones w/o having to twist your arms to arrange it.

A simple tip, connecting the hard drives with the connector side being closer to the MoBo side panel it will allow you to do a tidiest cable setup and easier to hide behind the panel ;) :toast:

I did a few zip ties just now so it looks a little better i'm getting a GTX 970 im going to wait to see if there's any classified edition's or something else but I think that's only for the 980.

Click to expand...

IMHO there are a lot of cables that could be underneath the mobo panel (if you have clearance of course) and specially even more if you twist your HD cage towards the other side, but again, this is just a tip, being your first build is not looking bad at all, keep it up mate :)
