You could manage the cables going into the graphics card slightly better. Also I'd recommend using white LEDs in every situation, they don't drown out every other colour in the case and instead make them pop.

850 pros are meant to be the best in business for generally everything. If you get one you shouldn't need to worry about it at all for about 7 years
