I would maybe recommend a m.2 ssd

[A21M]

How much would it help for performance and for price 

[chudtopia]

Not saying you need this exact one but for this one its about the same price for your ssd and it has 3500 MB/s read speed compared to your ssd of 560 MB/s read speed

[A21M]

If this will impact performance I'll definitely get one thanks

[A21M]

I don't know how many fans I will need for ventilation any advice

[chudtopia]

it will allow you to download things and start up your games along with booting the computer up faster

Note:The motherboard M.2 slot #1 shares bandwidth with SATA 6.0 Gb/s ports. When the M.2 slot is populated with a PCIe-based M.2 drive, two SATA 6.0 Gb/s ports are disabled.

 

Can someone translate this

This basically means that if you put an M.2 drive, which you should, (SN550) 2 SATA ports, used for hard drives and ssd's will not work. 

[A21M]

Will that matter if I only use the m.2 drive

[chudtopia]

im looking at the gigabyte.com website and it says that the nvme m.2 slot has a bandwidth of up to 32 Gb/s and im not finding it say that it disables 2 sata connectors, but you probably only need 4 anyways because you probably dont need 6 drives

no it wont, and if you want to use other drives, you can connect 4 more

[A21M]

So if I want to I can still connect an ssd aswell?

Ok

[A21M]

How many fans will I need?

[chudtopia]

it seems that the case you want has 3 spots to put a fan, but im pretty sure based on the design of the case, I think it should work fine with the 2 you want

[chudtopia]

actually, those are 92mm fans, the case I think only supports 120mm fans

[A21M]

OK so 120mm fans 

[chudtopia]

yes
