You're running low on USB ports except for USB-C, which isn't helping. You're considering a PCIe card to expand your PC's capabilities. I checked the link and saw details about a PCI USB 3.0 card, but I'm unsure if it fits your setup or affects other components. You also have two 1TB Samsung NVMe SSDs and a couple of 970 EVO Plus drives—do you know if they're compatible with your chipset? Think about whether adding more PCIe lanes would slow things down or if there are other better ways to upgrade.
