Behind my PC there is a mass of wires including speaker, keyboard and mouse wires. Inside my PC I cable tied my wires so I'm wondering whether I can do the same and cable tie the wires behind my PC. Is there any dangers to doing this or can I do this and everything will be fine?

As long as none of the cable wires are exposed (maybe your pet chewed on them, make sure) you should be fine. I did that for both my brother and myself. It makes it a lot cleaner. Also, to avoid accidental unplugging for this, you should make sure your monitor cables are screwed in.

Hi, what I use is a spiral wire wrapping band if you have many cables to protect.
