the only other way i see is route them straight down. if you want a cleaner look, look at cable extensions from cablemod for example

~i5-7600k @5GHz ~Be Quiet! Dark rock 3 ~MSI GTX 1070 Gaming X 8G ~Gigabyte GA-Z270-gaming K3 ~Corsair Vengeance Red led ~NZXT S340 Elite

Tie them up at the back of the case so they appear shorter

 

Also, your PSU is crap. Terrible quality.

@gideon399 CableMod Basic Extension kits are only $29.90 USD if you want to take the leap into sleeved cables for a better overall aesthetic. :)

I keep forgetting about not cheaping out on the PSU.  Did LTT or any other Youtubers cover why this is a bad idea?  I know I tend to cheap out on PSUs when I build computers, but I am not building crazy power house computers.  Heck, most of my PSU purchases are to up the capability on old machines or old pre-builts that get "newer" GPUs.

The short length of you card makes this a little tough.  Without sleeving your cables, one thing to try is just sort of combine it with the sata and usb cables with a zip-tie or something.  You could also run two cables with cable combs and make it wider.  I don't see many other alternatives for you to hide the cable, so I would suggest making the wires just look better as they have to be there.  I marked up the picture just to sort of show what I mean.  Also 2 cables would just look better without the loopdy doo at the connector.  Good luck.

A sort of silly but possibly awesome idea I just had, would be to buy a back plate for a full size card, and attach a shroud (cut a piece of wood or plastic rectangle) to it to cover the cables entirely and give the illusion of a full size card.  Don't know if that's crazy but I think it could work.
