Right now my PC is at the link you provided, without any hard drives. I'm planning to upgrade it by changing the case and replacing some components to something like the one listed here. On PCPartPicker it mentions needing a USB 2.0 to USB 3.2 Gen 1 adapter because the new case has five USB ports. I'm trying to understand why that is. If I were to buy the case, would I just need a USB adapter such as the one from Amazon to restore all front panel connections?

In my opinion, I could try manually increasing the RAM speed to DDR5-6000MHz in BIOS without purchasing new components. The case you chose should be compatible with your current MSI Z790 GAMING PRO WIFI motherboard.

I reviewed the manual and noticed that this was one of the reasons it didn’t make sense to me. Someone mentioned that partpicker can sometimes cause compatibility issues. I didn’t want to receive the case and everything wouldn’t work properly.

Would there be sufficient USB ports if I use that Corsair cooler? It uses USB 2.0, and the motherboard has two USB 2.0 ports. I’m sure just a few adapters would be needed for USB 2.0 to 3.2, especially for the front panel, and the cooler should function properly with that setup.
