You should get some zip ties and stick on zip tie bases to use behind your mobo tray to secure wires down. when I do it I usually zip tie together all of the gpu power cables together behind the tray before I route them out of the case. You can also feed your 8 pin through the top left hole in your case if it has one and if not you can actually route it being your motherboard if you really would like. For sleeved wires once you get 50 posts and can access the marketplace you can contact one of the few guys here who make custom sleeved extensions. You can also alternatively make your own if you wish or you can buy them from here and any other website of that kind like performance PCs

You could purchase sleeved ones from nzxt or sleeve it yourself and definitely pull those wires tight behind the mobo tray

You can run them behind the card like I did. I currently have single sleeved cables running on my rig now and I still have the cables running behind the 660.  Before I got the single sleeves I had the original cables running just like that as well. I just made sure to run it out of the middle cable management hole so it would work out.

If you can maneuver the gpu cables to come out of the bottom cable management hole but rest on top of your 24 pin that is arched right in front of the hole, it should give you enough height to rest the cables on it to where you can run it along the backside and bend it a bit for the turn to the power.

 It is a crappy blue print or w.e but maybe this can give u an idea of how I would run the cables.

The raw steel constructed case makes your cablemanagement look 180% worse than it really is. Having an all-black-inside case makes most cables less noticeable.
I would definately consider esCob4rs suggestion. Mastering the true art of cablemanagement requires great skills of many computer builds. Find your own preferences.

Thanks Guys, but I thought I might give them some ideas. And yes it does take planning, trial & error & of coarse extra money  , cable extensions & new cables etc!!

I cannot stand the power wires for the 660ti. Any advice on how to sleeve them or can I purchase cleaner ones?

Single sleeved cables make a big difference in appearance. AS suggested above single sleeved extensions. You can also use some zip ties and split corrugated wire tubing to conceal large numbers of wires.
Does that psu not have pre attached cables such as the 24pin and gpuX2 and cpu?

Yah but its hard to close the back side now with all the cables back there. Only way it works honestly is because I use the original side that comes with the haf 912, the one with the fan vent and HAF 912 stamped on it since I have a window side panel now.

Hey man I do not want to come off as being mean or rude but that sleeving job doesn't look all that well. If that is heatshrink on the ends they are way to loose. Other then that it looks like it is coming along well. And yah I have heard it is a huge pain in the butt to sleeve your own cables.

Yes it can be, but if you zip tie them tight against the back wall it makes a big difference, it did for me anyway.
