For some reason this always applies to people:

 

1.) Clean it out. It's a little dusty. -1

 

2.) CABLE MANAGEMENT! I mean... this always happens anyways.. so... -1

 

3.) People are going to mention the multi color cables. But actually... they get drowned out by the light. Still could have gone for better color coordination though. -1

 

4.) See you have an invisible fan... or is that an unconnected fan header? Tuck it away, if it gets messed up you wan't be able to use it in the future. -1

 

5.) Could we have a picture of the back? Thanks. Before cable management and after would be nice, so you can see the effects.

Good first build, especially for esports titles, if gaming is your intended use 16gigs of ram was a waste, but hey whatever you want to do. As for upgrades going from a 750ti to something more powerful would do wonders. A 1060 if going new or a 780 used would pair well with that cpu.

Thanks a-lot. that was helpful! 

 

1.) I know its a little dusty, I really need to clean it out! 

 

2.) I'm completely lost how to manage the cables any better! the case I have does NOT give any space at the back, i mean literally just enough for the motherboard power...

 

3.) I never actually thought about the cables; thanks for pointing it out! :)

 

4.) Not completely sure what you mean.

 

Thanks a-lot for the feedback! :)

Thanks for the response! 
I got the 16gb of RAM as when i bought them it was really really cheap so i thought i may as well overkill :) 

 

I definitely need to upgrade GPU but i wasn't sure if i would then need to upgrade the processor to stop it bottlenecking!

4460 is still a fine processor. even a 1060 6gb won't be a problem to it. trust me I ahve it

Agh. Nevermind about 4. You can't do anything about it because the two cables are connected. I see you ziptied it the best you could.

 

Cable Management: . Make sure all cables are kept next to sides/tied down (esp in the back). Now, ziptie as many cables as you can together, making one huge cable. This prevents cables fluttering around. Your main problem is that the hard drive cages are in front, and you don't have many grommets.

looks realy cool

if you didn't have much money it's a relay good system config,

the best upgrade i would do is get a newer GPU, maybe a RX480 if you don't have much money to spend

****SORRY FOR MY ENGLISH IT'S REALLY TERRIBLE*****
