I am about 70 percent of the way through my Shift X build, to the point where I can use the system. I am also taking pictures later tongiht, but I wanted to do the typing portion now before I tear the system down to do cable management. So many cables. for now, I'm gonna post the pc part picker and then add the pictures when I'm on mobile, since all the pictures are on my phone. I have everything purchased except the wd hdd's, and the video card. I'm also gonna be getting cablemod cables, but I was hoping to get some feed back on how to route them.

I'm trying to stick with as few brands as possible, while being both over the top, and a good value. Feed back is appreciated, since I'm more than willing to replace most anything to fit the aesthetic and overall them. I have gone overboard on rgb, but I don't intend on going with the unicorn vomit look. I prefer the single color static look, and I like how corsair allows for the leds to match the temp of the system.

I built a pc in the shift x as well. I tried to run as much as i could down the back under the rear cover. I made the mistake of getting a full size ATX power supply so my power cords are enormous and that worked for me. I was worried about bending the cover but it seems to be fine with the cables. 
If you want I can post some pics.

sorry, i should have specified. I posted this and then kind of forgot about it. I accidentally bought a 3 slot gpu and now I have to zip tie it to the side of the chassis. I used a bunch of rewards coupons so I'd lose out on almost 75 dollars. I'm gonna keep this card until I upgrade to a 2080, then put this 2060 into my buddy's rig. I appreciate the offer though. I'm using extensions until I get custom cables, which are at the bottom of my upgrade path.
