To get the top on my case I will need to bend my PCIE power cables a good amount. Should I just take off the heat shrink and go crazy?

You can just get some extension cables.

This would be what i would do, id get some cheap extensions and bend those, i wouldn't wanna mess around with the heat shrink right on you psu cables. plus is something happens to your cables like a short or something you wont have to replace the whole cable but just the cheap extension.

I was trying to avoid spending more money. Hell its only money.
Be nice if they made male, female 90 degree PCI adapters.

Im not 100% sure but you could possibly make one of these, i know somewhere on here i saw a link to the connections for them without cables, you could possibly make on yourself.

They should also have the 90degree adapter though it would be a big help for alot of people.

TBH, it shouldn't affect anything till it snaps, which most likely won't happen unless you try and make it.
Bend em as much as you want I don't think you can really pinch off a current like you can a water hose...but when you put the top on besure it doesn't push the cables and the connecters down offa the gpu.
