That's not a big deal, except that the cables that came with the power supply are braided and too rigid to keep that bend. So either they will slack, or it puts tension at the plug to the graphics card, which in turn puts additional stress on it's PCI-E slot.

That stress might be minor, but it would be no stress at all with some more flexible power cables.
ah ok, I see the issue now.
Check out frozencpu.com they should have wires that you're looking for there. Should just about be able to get anything you want from that store.
