well i got it today and i installed it and it is working without a problem so far. it was my first PSU swap and at first it was a little overwhelming but its easier than it looks. only 1 question, i have a lot of non-used wires and they do not fit well inside the case, is there any way to secure them better?

Get yourself some zip ties and and tie up the extra cabling much like it was when it came out of the box.

On some cases you can push the wiring into unused hardrive slots and that then allows for better air circulation and cooling

You can get sticky padded holders to strap the cabling down onto the case, and similar to what kodi mentioned, many cases allow a back space area to route the excess cabling.
