I recently got a new case, the NZXT s340 which has a very convenient hole on the bottom panel (over the PSU)  for the GPU cables to come out straight into the GPU port. Unfortunatley, the EVGA card I have has it's ports more to the left than normally so my cables come out at an angle. Granted it's not terrible looking but I'm wondering if there's a way for me to do something to the cables to have them come out at a right angle (Straight up then sharp turn left). Am I making any sense? I feel like I'm rambling.

Throw up some pictures otherwise I have no idea haha.

The card has the cables coming out of the "top" of the card, towards the side panel rather then on the "side" towards the front. Ugly for any cable management situation IMO

Oh I see, I guess you could mod the PSU cover hole and make it a little larger to the left so that it comes out straight.

could you not go straight up avoiding the problem entirely? i have done something similar in the past. it looks like you have a hole that you could route the cable straight from the psu to the gfx in the image

Did you read the OP.... 

 

We know there's a hole there. However with some (usually unsleeved) PCIe power cables, it looks ugly routed like that.

Yeah the problem is the whole isn't aligned with the ports. Granted this isn't a showstopper, just something I thought I should look into. I had thought of wrapping the cables around a metal rod or something but nothing that stood out as definitely a good idea. And to the person who asked for pictures, look at the one batpanda posted and move the 6pin ports to the left (over right before the word SAPPHIRE starts.)

 

Edit: I managed to take a quick pic and upload it. I do apologize for the terrible quality of the picture.
