I have been using x299 platform for many years, i felt that it was time for an upgrade. I was hoping that intel hedt / amd tr would be affordable but guess not, so i have settled for this instead.

Let me know if you have any suggestions on how i can improve my cable management.
 
Nice Rig! Congrats on your new build! :)
 
Good choices. I'd suggest opening the RAM heatsinks and placing a thermal pad or putty on the PMIC, since G.SKILL doesn't include and that section can get quite hot.

Make sure you enable Intel 200S boost or at least manually increase the internal tile to tile/D2D clocks. Fixes most of the latency/gaming performance regression from Raptor Lake and retains Intel warranty.
 
Your cable management is good enough. What do you want to change?
I wasn't sure if it was good haha thats why i wanted to gauge some opinions here. but thank you. Not much to change at this time since i cant add anymore sata devices since all 4 used up. Might want to add an intel nic card in the future.

I did! after watching a few videos on youtube everyone says to enable 200s as it fixes lots of performance issues. Regarding the ram heatsink, wouldn't opening it void warranty?
