You have 5 sata ports left with only one needed for the hdd, it's not gonna matter.

Also about the motherboard. You mentioned that I really wanted the z370 mobo. But I didn’t really care. So if you think that you know of something better than that feel free to change the z370. I don’t want you to think that I prefer something because to be honest I don’t even know about motherboards

The EVGA Z370 Classified K does not have any RGB lighting. It is a good motherboard.

When you buy a full RGB lighting system and set it to static black 4ever. ;)

Are liquid coolers better than the cooler I had? Also do you  like the monitor

The NH-D15S is fine. I selected the aio because it has some RGB.

 

Monitor seems a little small for the resolution, but that really is personal preference.

Do you recommend any other monitors? Also how about the speakers?

It would be best if you can visit a store or two and check out monitor choices.

 

I don't generally make any recommendations for speakers. Very much an item that depends on listener and room.
