Improving airflow and cable management

Everything seems fine. 

If you want to clean up cables, you can hide the AIO ribbon cables behind the tubing and secure them to the tubing with zipties. Be sure to not over tighten them and pinch the tubing. 

The pump cable would be better hidden being plugged into the top fan header and the top fan cable can be hidden along side of the left motherboard heatsink.

I'd personally bend the pcie power cable up over the graphics card as opposed to under but to each their own.

Hey everyone

Just built my first PC a few days ago (I'm 16) and since I just sold all my RAM and my PC is out of commission for a while I thought that now would be a perfect time to ask some questions. 

Is my fan setup correct? In the picture below you can see that the front acts as an intake but I've seen fans mounted on the backside of a radiator and mine is on the front.

How do I improve the cable management? Are there any tips and tricks I should know about? I tried my best but my case still looks somewhat messy.
