Hi. I've been doing stuff in my PC recently. I installed a new graphics card a month ago (GTX 980) and reseated my cooler a bit over a week ago. I took some pictures of my setup, and what the cabling inside looks like.

I know it is nothing fantastic. In fact, I quite dislike it. How bad is the management?
A lot of it comes from my Harddrives, which were mounted backwards, and as a result it caused a huge mess in the front (look at the drive cages, and you'll see).
This came to my attention because I want(ed) to better the temperatures of my CPU, during load. This reason is sort of obsolete to me now, but I think I might get another SSD soon. How bad is my overall condition, and how can I attempt to fix it?
I know of PCIE SSDs. They are more expensive and lower capacity from what I searched. How effective are these as opposed to traditional Sata3 (6Gb) SSDs? Are they slower/faster, or more reliable?
I have an i7-2700k so am on PCIE 2.0. Would this be a bottleneck problem? I know PCIE SSDs take up a lot more bandwidth allegedly than Graphics Cards do. My 2700k has 16 supported PCIE lanes. Could this be a problem? I currently have my 980 in 16x, and a wireless network adapter in I think a 4x lane.
My case is a CM Storm Enforcer. My specs are listed in my signature if anyone is curious.
