A case that is partially broken, is full of dust, and has an optical drive and a GT 440 inside. 

Humpty Dumpty was pushed.

For me It's cable management and the tremendous heat coming from my video card (XFX 7850 1GB).

Heat? My 1gb hd7850 is fine (Asus direct CU)

I'm experiencing 65-70 degrees (Celsius) while playing, I don't know if it is okay or wrong.

I had problems with my dusty case and was fed up with having to dust it out so frequently.

Because I had no money for dust filters, I cut up an old vacuum bag (unused of course!) and used the filter part to cover up all the intakes and passive vents. I did a few stress tests, and the temperatures were stable. I left it like that for almost a year now. It was meant to be temporary...
Hella ugly, but atleast it works well!   :P

Most of the stuff that people would consider embarrassing about their PCs I find to be a source of pride for mine. Perhaps it is because it resembles the amount of resourcefulness that was put into my rig.

I don't overclock... I OGREclock.

Not that embarrassing but I'm getting a Maximus Impact VII with an i5 4590, a locked processor. 

You gotta do you girl. I always say you gotta do you. And if he's doing him, then who's doing you? Because right now, it seems like no one's doing you.

It's my case. Has no cable managment and terrible air flow options. Fortunately, I'm upgrading soon :D

I have a 750D but completely forgot I have a non modular PSU so it looks horrible

Actually non modular PSUs look mich cleaner. If you route all the spare cables in the back and tuck them awaym having 1 clean bundke of cables coming out of the psu looks mich bettee than javing 50 million lego poeces sticking out the psu.

A few minor things.

 

1: I have a waterblock for my 290, but I put the stock cooler back on to test something and I never got around to putting the waterblock back on.

2: My SSD and HDD are just hanging behind the motherboard tray not tied down.

3: My secondary monitor uses VGA, but I only use it to monitor things so no big deal.

My Rig:
