My first ever build and it went smoothly if slowly!

NZXT H510, Powercolor Red Devil RX 5700 XT, MSI B450 Tomahawk MAX, Ryzen 5 3600X, 16gb Corsair Vengeance DDR4 3000, Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo Black, Asus PCE-AC68 and Corsair RM750X.

Hopefully I have been OCD enough with the cable management. The only niggle/complaint with the case is the Ketchup and Mustard front panel HD audio cable. NZXT have made a fantastic job of the case and other cables having heat shrink all the way to the connector but that cable is so annoying!

Only thing is with that NZXT H510 case you wont be able to use that front USB C connection as that motherboard doesnt have the header for it.
I got the exact motherboard ready for a build and i went for a H500 NZXT Case instead.

Got same board and H510 and found that out too late no connector for the front panel usb-c :(

Nice build OP, same as mine other than I got the 3700X with stock fan and 3600 viper memory. Mine only has a 1060gb GPU atm though, would love your Red Devil in mine but that is a new year purchase.
 
Great first build and nice color coding you got going on there.

For the audio cables, you could either use a black marker pen or some heatshrink to go from the plug to the outer cable sleeve.

You could also get some braided extension cables. Think you will need 3 or 4 and at ~ £4 each, maybe not the way to go as it works out a bit expensive.

My basket at Overclockers UK:
Total: £6.69 (includes shipping: £2.74)

That is a genuinely great effort on a first time build dude :) be proud of that. I think it's cleaner than any system i have ever put together in the last 10 years. Building slowly is absolutely fine and nothing to be worried about. It's not a race and nobody here thinks like that :)
