If thats an Define R5/R4 you can put the cpu extra power cable under the ssd mountplate.

Do you have a picture of the hardware side of the case as that's where cable management has more importance. For the back though I would try and use the velcro straps to keep everything running together and then use cable ties for those rogue power cables.

 

I had so much cabling at the back for my build I just folded it all together and secured it as best as I could. Its still a mess, but keeps the front clean and I can close the back panel without any issues.

Well the front looks pretty tidy. I'd definitely takes some cable ties to the back to stop those rogue wires peeking out the side and also remove the bottom HDD cage and stick a 2nd 140mm intake fan at the front for positive airflow.

I have only just finished my cables so now nothing is showing on the side and the back looks A LOT cleaner.

I was thinking of putting a fan at the bottom to blow directly on the you but all of those psu cables are showing. Is it still worth putting a fan there? Also I am hiding a cable along the floor (behind the hdd cage). Would it look bad if I removed it?
