Cable management is all about appearance and respecting your huge investment.

Good cable management doesn't give you more FPS's or make your PC run much cooler.

 

If you think it is fine, it is fine. If you are disappointed with it, do it again.

cables can in fact block airflow and therefore increase temperatur. its not only appearance.

It's pretty normal but you need a new case with the PSU at the bottom and exhausts at the top.

I have no idea why cases with PSUs at the top still exist.

Yeah man, i wanted to go for bottom mounted PSU case but couldn't find any within budget when i build it.

Will go for bottom mounted one when i build the other one for my other home :P
