Whoops, forgot to change that. I have an R7 260X.

 

260x doesn't put off enough heat to warrant a case change.  with money being limited for you, I'd just stick with this case.  buy some games or something either the money instead

HP something | 5600X | Corsair  16GB | Zotac ArcticStorm GTX 1080 Ti | Samsung 840 Pro 256GB | OCZ Agility 3 480GB | ADATA SP550 960 GB

Corsair AX860i | CaseLabs SM8 | EK Supremacy | UT60 420 | ST30 360 | ST30 240

Gentle Typhoon's and Noctua's and Noiseblocker eLoop's

Grey with blue, as blue is my main color for my build.

 

 

That is beautiful. So you have it? How's the cable management?

sorry cant comment on cable management. seems like from some pictures you should have no issues tucking wires behind the mobo. the side panel has punch out. also guy mentioned in this video about cable management.

I would think its pretty decent. My z9plus has decent cable management tie downs. 

 

also at thinkcomputers you can judge if this this satisfies your needs for cable management

Other option is save a few more $$$ and wait for corsair' new case or do some of the other upgrades in the meantime.
