something like this, but before you buy it you should check if it is already in the box because sometimes they include it :)

Im planning on making a "budget" MATX Ryzen build. I'm worried that becasue my motherboard only has 3 fan headers i wont be able to connect my 4th fan. I thought about buying the Commander Pro, but i dont know if i should and if there is a cheaper way.

You can use a fan splitter which makes one header turn to 2 more header.

You can save some money and get a 550 or 650w power supply, 750 is just overkill. use the saved money to get yourself some games :D
