"She may not look like much..."

"...but she's got it where it counts, kid."

 
Just sharing what my PC looks like; a relatively ordinary mid tower case, stuffed full of relative goodness.  Sure, if I had room for a larger tower the wiring would be neater, but there's something to be said for doing what you can in a restricted space. :D
 
As you can see, a tower even slightly taller than my X-Dreamer4 will not physically fit in my desk under the keyboard tray.  If the next gen of video gards gets longer than my GTX 1080 SC2, I may have an issue.  But for now, I'm good. :D

    Looks great. I know cable management might be difficult in that PC case so the only thing I could recommend is some cable ties.

    Yeah... it doesn't come across properly in the pictures, but there's so little space for cables to move around the end of the video card that a Powerlink, which I see is on sale, would likely make things even worse; I actually had to plug the wire for the fan mounted on the side panel to another fan header on the motherboard because there was that much less room with the 1080 in there.
     
    I may pick one up anyway and try it regardless...

    Okay, Powerlink arrived, Powerlink attached, and opportunity taken to reroute some cables:

    Not much more I can do with this small case unless I was willing to give up the Blu-Ray drive.  I'm not giving up the Blu-Ray drive.  The back panel case fan is loose and pointing the wrong way in these pics, but that was corrected.

    Time for you to create a  Link
    The only suggestion I have for you is to get a better CPU Cooler.
    Maybe a H100i V2 and install it on the Top of your computer or a H80i V2 and install it in the Rear of your computer.
    And new from EVGA EVGA CLC 120 Liquid CPU Cooler and also EVGA CLC 280 Liquid CPU Cooler
     
     
    On the Low Cost Side: 
    Hyper 212 EVO - CPU Cooler with 120mm PWM Fan by Cooler Master

    Heh... nothing's overclocked in my system.
    If I needed that kind of cooling, I'd need a bigger case.
    If I needed a bigger case, I'd need a bigger desk.
    If I needed a bigger desk, I'd need a bigger room.
    If I needed a bigger room, I'd need a bigger house.
    I can't afford a bigger house. :D
     
    It's like the Chaos Butterfly effect, but backwards. :D
