*UPDATES*
1. Took my time to rearrange all cables, ever since I built the case, it was playing on my mind how messy the cabling was and how it could collect dust.

2.Took away on of the PWM Fan Splitters, My case fans were 3-pin so I don' think my computer could use smart fan properly, and it felt a tiny bit noisy (Although cooling was great)

2.Moved front fan down a slot, I thought It didn't need to cool down hard drives, and would have less effect pushing air through.

4.Soundproofed Front using a piece of free foam material which came with graphics card - The front of case was a little too see through for my liking and made it look cheap, also the air pressure was on my mind, thinking the cooling wasn't at its best due to this.

5. Due to the bottom intake, there was a lot of dust under the case and also I couldnt feel much cooling going on, so I also added soundproofing (free) foam which came with mobo.

Everything worked great ! Very happy with the changes, feels a lot quieter and also more pressure when I put my hand against the intake and outtake fans :)

What You Think?
 
Cable management looks good. Although, isn't it best not to curl the sata cables?
