No two ways about it: the 5000X is a gorgeous, gorgeous case. The ARGB strip really adds to it as well!

One thing: is it an optical illusion, or is the fan on the cooler not quite straight?

Hi had my computer for 4 months now and im very pleased with it, just had a quick question, is it possible to control the LED strip via the icue software?

Its controls everything else just fine but not the LED strip.

If it's an ARGB strip, it can't be controlled through iCue. This is stupid, but it's sadly the world we live in. You should be able to control it in Armoury Crate. I'd only change the settings for the strip, though, lest you create conflicts between the two pieces of RGB control software.
