That is a very brief post so i don't know how much you want to spend (or not) but here are a couple of ideas:

1) Buy a new case. Looks like you have a micro atx board so you have plenty of choice for great cases. You don't have to spend loads but something with good cable management will make a huge difference.

2) Mod yourself a case window. I cannot see your side panel but modding a case window and adding LEDs to the inside can be a great booster. Dont have to get loads of LEDs if you don't want them.

3) Braid your PSU cables. Buy some bungee cord and braid your cables. This will void your PSU warranty probably but it looks amazing imo.

4) Get a nicer cpu cooler. Again, you don't have to spend a lot but you get ones that look great for a reasonable price.

Hope that helps.

I'd suggest you buy a new case with good cable management, you don't really need anything expensive, there's a ton of cases that are affordable and have great cable management options.

If you do buy a new case, make sure that you dust everything off, I see some dust on your CPU fan.

A new case would help a TON. That should be your first thing you get. A very good budget case that looks nice would be the NZXT Tempest 410.
The case looks great, i was thinking something along the lines of the Corsair 300r. Would this case be better than the tempest?

Get a can of compressed air! And blast out the dust offa all your parts. Make sure to do it delicately and in short bursts, or water droplets might gather on your parts which is a definite no-no
I'll try that out, i am going to be changing cases soon my birthday is coming up in March. Thanks for the suggestion.

i would say dont get a new case. Instead pain it and buy a new motherboard. If you can buy a new of both great. But id say buy the mobo over the case cos your cant change the color of the mobo when you can with the case. I would also get NZXT cable extenders and then work on the cable management. also get a new cooler
