My computer right now is at this link minus my hard drives. I want to put a new case and swap out some things like that one here. On the other link, it says you need a USB 2.0 to USB 3.2 Gen 1 header adapter because the new case has five USB ports. Is this right? I've been trying to figure it out. If I buy the case, do I just need a USB adapter like that one from Amazon to make all the front panel stuff work?

I think it's a good idea to try manually setting the RAM speed to 6000MHz in the BIOS, so I don't need new hardware. That case you chose fits perfectly with your current MSI motherboard. Also, this thread has been moved from the Components section to Systems.

I read the instructions and found out why it made no sense for me. Someone mentioned that a partpicker can break things, so I didn't want to buy the case and risk something going wrong.

Would I have enough USB ports if I use that corsair cooler because it uses USB 2.0 and my motherboard has two USB 2.0 slots? Yes, jusb4 is a usb c port, jusb3 is usb 3.2, and jusb1-2 are usb 2.0 I feel like I would need an adapter for usb 2.0 to 3.2 for all the front panel and the cooler to work right?
