you understand I live in Canada right?
newegg.com is $155 USD and newegg.ca is $220 CAD for that MB, so yeah the extra $15 CAD is not a big deal just to get it from the same place as the rest of it (equivalent is ~155 euro or ~165 USD with the exchange rate).
everything I'm buying would work out to 875 euros or $950 USD ... shit is fucking expensive here, not to mention the +13% tax on top of that (at least no fucking VAT!)

edit: nevermind.
"Enlightenment is man's emergence from his self-imposed nonage. Nonage is the inability to use one's own understanding without another's guidance. This nonage is self-imposed if its cause lies not in lack of understanding but in indecision and lack of courage to use one's own mind without another's guidance. Dare to know! (Sapere aude.) "Have the courage to use your own understanding," is therefore the motto of the enlightenment."

Shit looks nominal to me 
Do you have a couple of fans on the front pulling air in? Guess you do, they're just not visible in there.

So one pulling air in and another pulling air out (won't factor the PSU since it's not directly involved in the airflow in your case)? Maybe another one pulling air out at the back/top would be a good idea, but I'd wait for someone with more experience with airflow stuff to confirm.
(I always mix up the in/out fans ratio  )

Yeah, there is a spot for another 140/120MM on the front and two 120mm on the top. I wasn't sure how many off them to fill (MB has 4 power plugs for fans).
Also the one that was in the case was 3 pin (runs at one speed) and then one I bought was 4 pin (computer can lower the fan speed) ... not sure if it is worth replacing the 3 pin one with a new 4 pin.

oh and one other thing ... I realized some of my peripherals are shit (old microsoft media keyboard from almost a decade ago and a wired usb logitech from at least 5 years ago, I have a Tt Black mouse which I want to keep).
I wouldn't mind some recommendations for a decent keyboard (~$50 USD) and wireless controller (was thinking about getting xbox one controller with wireless adapter)

I have a similar setup, got the back one pulling air out and 2 front ones that pull it in. Evo's fan is also pushing the air towards the back end one.

Son I am proud
But for the majority I'm afraid that wire cutting is the only way to go 
At least with fans and shit like that.
