I'm excited about building my first PC but I've heard that cable management can be tricky. Does anyone have tips to make this easier? Also, if you have any general PC building advice, I'd love to hear that too!

Use Velcro ties instead of zip ties. Trust me, you'll want to move things around sometimes, and cutting zip ties can be a hassle. Plus, twist ties can have metal inside that could potentially short something out, so they’re not the best choice.
Remember, cable management is optional! It’s totally fine if your setup isn’t perfectly organized. As long as it works for you, that’s what counts.
Don't stress too much about it! Just avoid letting any cables touch the fans. Even if the cables are a bit messy, as long as they aren’t interfering with airflow, it should be fine.
Consider using Velcro ties or strips for managing your cables. They’re much easier to adjust compared to zip ties. You'll likely need to get them separately; they usually don’t come with cases like the H6 Flow. They've worked wonders for me!
A good trick is to run and bend as many cables as you can behind the motherboard or through any pre-made routes in the case. It helps keep everything out of sight! And for any visible cables, just tie them up neatly. You could also invest in custom cables for an even cleaner look if you're into aesthetics.
Thanks for the tip! Do you know if those Velcro ties are included with the H6 Flow case, or should I grab some myself?
