you could get some cable sleeving instead of that tubing

otherwise your's seems fine

That appears to be the same case I used for my kid's machine. He's four and decided he wanted green lights so I got him that one...and immediately changed the power supply. That XION power supply feels like it weighs about 2 ounces...not something I'd trust for very long. You seriously need to consider replacing it before adding your new video card to that system.

I need to find a psu that has rounded wires, or i want like 500 or 580 PSU watt and then i buy this.

I don't need special ties to organize my wires. I know how to intelligently wrap twist ties around them. I even combine twist-ties for thicker cables. Works fine for me.
