MSI MS-7850 I guess? They actually only gave me 2 screws...but I didn't feel like figuring it out because I wanted to build it and get it done so I actually balanced the motherboard over 2 screws. Yeah...I know...stupid...

I will want to get 2 PCIE SATA cards then...and it just looks dumb. And $50? I might as well just get a nice $150 motherboard.
Is this your motherboard?

If so, then it has 6 sata ports.

Huh...Ok I guess I'm really an idiot...in that cause I guess I need the SATA plugs now. all I need is a new Tower case and some more RAM...? Oh. and I could get liquid cooling with the money I saved.

Instead of a full tower case and liquid cooling wouldn't you rather a faster computer, better graphics, etc?

Well. I'm good on Graphics since I got an MSI 1070. Plugs are everywhere and the fans make an awful noise.

Going to a large case isn't going to make the fans quiet. They are either dirty, dying, or some combo of those.
Also, a liquid cooler is like $100+ when a simple air cooler for $40 would be sufficient.
Either get another kit of existing or sell existing and get this kit.

Ok ok. I guess I can get a cheap air cooler for my CPU. Yeah but they aren't that dirty. They've just been making an annoying noise for a while now. I've tried everything. There just has to be something going on in my computer that is making my computer run poorly. I'd rather get a new case especially a big one, to start over and make it look cleaner.
@johnb35 I thought you shouldn't get two different types of RAM speeds?

What I linked you was the same speed 1600mhz. I wouldn't get a full tower case, depending on power supply you may have problems with cable lengths. Just get a good midtower case with good ventilation. You probably have cheap fans and they are shot.

Speaking from someone who went from a small mid-tower to a full-tower, you will be kicking yourself if you don't have fully modular psu and extra cables..thats for sure!

What case do you have currently?
Have you considered just giving the machine a good cleaning inside, and scrap all the current fans and buy a couple packs of corsair high air flow quiet edition fans and just replace those?

Cool! I'll get those then! @johnb35
@Laquer Head Oh really? Well mine is a non - modular I guess...Doesn't really seem like an issue to me.

It won't be an issue till your cables are too short and you can't connect things..

I have a Thermaltake Versa. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811133249
I mean yeah...but it would still be more annoying to remove everything in a small space. And I don't know which plugs can be removed and which need to do something before you remove them.
Could I fit the liquid cooling in that case just if I want to eventually?

If you really wanted to do a closed loop cooler.. I'd go with a Corsair H80i its more suitable for a mid tower. I used one for years!!
