So, I've built my new system, the specs are:

Intel Core i5-3570K 3.40GHz (Ivybridge)
16Gb GeIL EVO Leggera DDR3
Gelid GX7 CPU Cooler
Gigabyte Z77X-D3H
Asus Xonar DGX 5.1
MSI 7850 OC 2Gb Twin Frozr IV
Intel 330 Series 120GB 2.5" SATA 6Gbs SSD
Seagate Barracuda 7200.12 1TB SATA 6Gbs
Antec 900-2 Case
Jeantech Storm 700W PSU

The problem is the cables. It looks a right mess inside, as you can see here....

The main problems are the 4/8 pin CPU power cable, and the bundle of cables down the front which are the case headers etc. Any tips or suggestions please? I will eventually get a new case with better cable management, but until then, I will make do with this.
Thanks
 
For 8pin power cable,you can normally run them up the back of the graphics card. If you look in the corner between the PCI brackets and the motherboard, there should be a gap big enough to run cables up.

Does that involve taking the motherboard out?
 
That looks better imo.

Probably a tad late but you should have got a case with cable managment, sooooo much neater.

But much better than before :)

My next upgrade will be a better PSU and a Corsair 600T perhaps, some real nice fans and a controller. Perhaps some braided cables too.
