Cable management help needed:(

Hey!

 

I just built my first pc and Im having trouble managing the cables to look tidy. I tried using most of the cutouts on the case, but it still looks messy as hell.

 

Build:

Fractal Focus G case

MSI z390 gaming edge ac

9600k

Dark rock pro 4

Msi 2080S gaming trio

Seasonic focus 750 px

3200mhz cl16 gskill ripjaws

 

Any help is appreciated. Sorry for the bad quality pictures my camera lens on the phone is shattered so its really hard to take pictures without glare:D

 

Furthermore I read in Seasonics guide that I should connect the gpu with 2 separate pcie connectors, but they only included 2 and one is plugged into the cpu. The card pulls theoritically 260-270 watts tops. Shoudnt a single cable be enough?

Honestly doesn't look bad for your case. I would move your GPU power cable.

Thanks for the suggestion.I'll try that. I tried to route it there so it doesn't obstruct the front case fans. I dont get why seasonic would recommend using single cables for the gpu power, but not include enough. If I connect it separately i'll have a power connector just dangling below the gpu
