Nice build other than the fact that the 7950 will smoke a 660ti and is the same price and that motherboard is trash. Other than those two things nicely done.

Power supply is overkill for the Rig. 
You can improve on Cable management.

Good Job with keeping components in theme! 

Ram would have been better in blue. 

Try no to hang the tubing of the H60. 

Pretty balanced rig. 

 

If I may ask how much did you pay just for the components without the peripherals. :)

His or her cable management is better than my rig. Of course, I also have more to power, and my rig is set up a bit differently.

That's a really weird way to mount your H60 o.o

Also I would mount your PSU with the fan facing down. It keep the air going into the PSU seperate from the air inside the case.

 

Overall it looks quite neat from what I can tell.

 

Good job!

since you got the system already then its fine, but couldve gotten a 650W PSU, cause right now with 750W it's overkill, unless you get another GPU or something

but yeah... extensions would probably be the way to go XD my HX750s cable barely reaches up there without putting stress on the motherboard connector.
