Hey everybody I just built myself a new gaming rig and I was wondering if I could get some opinions on what you think of the build?! All comments appreciated :)

SPECS:
CPU: Amd Phenom II X4 970 (3.5ghz)
Motherboard: Asus M4A88TD-V Evo/USB3
Ram: G-skill 16gb DDR3 1600
Graphics Card: ATI Radeon HD 6870 1gb
Power Supply: OCZ 500w Modular
Case: HAF 932 Advanced Black Edition
DVD: Lite-on drive
HDD: 2tb Seagate 5900 RPM 64mb cache

Here is a picture of the rig, the cable management isn't absolutely amazing but I did my best :D :

I'm not sure why you bought 16GB RAM for a gaming build......but.....other than the the build looks good.

Fairly good cable management from what I can see too :)
