My first self-built PC

This is my first self-built PC and i'm really excited about it. It sprung out from an old pre-built PC i had (GTX660, i53570k, 8 gig ram) as i decided to just about upgrade everything, get a new case and start over. As of right now, the only thing i haven't upgraded is the PSU.

General Setup info
Desk: 120cm x 70cm basic desk with wobbley legs, with a 120 cm x 30 cm shelf on top for extra space
igloo mm200 Monitor Arm
Headset Stand ( no clue what brand, but it's basic and it works! )
HyperX Fury Cloud 2 Headset
JBL Bar Studio Sound Bar

Plan going forward!
#1 - Getting a bigger desk! I'm in the works of acquiring a desk that's atleast 160cm wide, to get my PC off the floor. It's currently sitting on the box of my coffee maker and while it works, i'm not really pleased with it.
#2 - New Mouse! Taking suggestions, and considering going wireless.
#3 - Getting a modular PSU with proper custom cables for better cable management.
#4 - Vertical GPU Bracket. There's an issue with the SATA ports blocking the top PCI-e slot from allowing longer graphics cards to connect properly. Besides, vertical looks badass.
