Thoughts on my finished build?

D3CYFL
Just wanted to know peoples thoughts on my finished build :)
 
Parts list - Full list > http://pcpartpicker.com/p/4hzPYJ
 
Windows 8.1 Pro 64-bit
 
3DMark Fire Strike result - http://www.3dmark.com/3dm/5167738
 
Pictures - http://imgur.com/a/Brs3c (before you call me out on the messy cables, I put the parts in as they arrived and this is the first PC I've ever built or modified so I don't know much about cable management)

 

 

Constructive criticism welcomed :)

This video could help you better your cable management  ;) 

I did watch a few videos on cable management a while back but the power supply cords are too short to reach through the cable management holes and still reach where they need to be plugged into. The case is aesthetically pleasing but otherwise impractical. I should have chosen usability/features over looks.

Would of gotten a different case, but nice overall build

Remember a wise man once said, "You'll most likely hear/see more bad reviews from products than good, because if they get a good product, they won't bother to write a review, and if they got a bad product, they'll complain about the product" ~ SoftenButterCream

See most of us had plenty of time to learn how to build and cable manage on shit hardware before we ever got the money to buy something of this caliber. High end hardware I guess brings with it more expectation on execution of build.

Hello,

 

I have a similar build, I checked your firestrike tests, can you give me a tip or two about the overclock you have on your CPU?

they do make sleeved extensions that look fantastic http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&DEPA=0&Order=BESTMATCH&Description=silverstone+sleeved+cables&N=-1&isNodeId=1

Yeah like the others said tidy it up and it would look so much nicer! :) But if you ignore the cabblemess it's a nice build overall, I like the white fan as a little detail to mix te colours. ^^

Feel free to take a look, I would highly appreciate it.
