Start over or move hardware?

I currently have a PowerSpec G702, with an ASRock B450 Pro 4, motherboard. I cannot stand the standard cables from the power supply (the million and one colours!). Trying to think of solutions. A few ideas spring to mind, but wanted opinions...
1. Replace the power supply with a fully modular one and keep the current case.
2 Do the above and buy a newer case, something like an NZXT or similar.
Considering it is a lot of work to replace the power supply (cable management), seems best to just purchase a new case, and move all the hardware (excluding the power supply) over, no? What would you do?

Hello @MrTee_Cup

The easiest solution is using Cable Extenders.  You just stuff the current cables back under the PSU Shroud and use braided Cable Extenders to look nicer. 

Something like this; https://www.microcenter.com/product/470650/cablemod-6--2-pin-extension-cable.

This is what I would do.


If you are interested in a new case, you can still do the extension cables as a cheaper alternative.  These do not plug directly into the PSU, they just extend it and look nice.

I bought the cables from the link below, earlier today and installed them. However, halfway through the process, I noticed that there are no SSD power cables. And, I need two. For now, I have merely attached the motherboard and graphics card. With the sheer volume of extra cable, I am seriously wondering if I am better off replacing my power supply with a fully modular unit. Thus, having all the same colour cables. Decisions, decisions. Ideas and suggestions are welcomed...
