I am helping put together a multimedia PC for my sister and her son and I need a little help with the cable management. The build focuses on both video editing and gaming and here are the parts we ordered: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/ppDF.

If I route the 8 pin CPU power connector behind the motherboard tray, will it be long enough to connect? If not, would you recommend ordering an 8 pin extension cable?
I have used small zip ties in a couple other systems in the past, but the results typically looked pretty messy. Overall, I want a clean look to the tower once everything is plugged in. Any recommendations on parts that I can use to improve the "neatness" of the case would be appreciated.

My nephew showed an interested in adding lights inside the case. Is this a good option? http://www.amazon.com/Technologies-5-25-Inch-Changing-Controller-8c-hue0000-00b/dp/B008RWT2IY
 
the 8 pin connector should reach as thats a quality psu maker

some cases come with a 8 pin extension cable anyway--dont know about that one

the best way to improve the neatness of cabling is to take your time doing it --best cabling i have seen on here is probably by

moto--hes a bit ocd about it :D
