My suggestion would be to pick a theme color and stick with it. If you want it to look nice then thats the #1 thing is to make EVERYTHING match. Clear down to the PSU if you can see it, or you plan to show it off that way.

Black and blue would be really nice.  That would mean probably changing the cooler to something like the Phanteks Tc-12 since it has a blue heatsink.  Those red sata cables have to go.  Finally, If you want a clean look, I would look into a clean looking case with sharp edges and no fan on the side panel.

Cable management could be better. Paint the PSU like green stuff into blue? this could be done with automotive grade paint or plastic dip.

curious on where you got them cable management things on your 20+4 pin connector, been looking for those. also id pick maybe 2 colors, 3 at the most. maybe black and blue, but add more blue. maybe leds change out the red sata data cables for black, or blue red just sticks out

I have a lot of sentimental attachment to that case. It was a gift from my fiance. Plus I really like the airflow, I used to have the h440 but the bad airflow left a lot my components running hot.

 

Where can I get coloured sata cables though?

I got those, from this website

Just we warned shipping times are ridiculous, everything has to be shipped from Hong Kong.
