The current PC i'm using is built in 2016 and it was time for a new look and small upgrade. However, i have run into some problems and although i have done some research, i don't see how i can fix it so i come to you for help.

PC Board Specs currently

- Intel i7 6700K
- GTX 980 STRIX SLI x 2
- MSI Z170A GAMING PRO

The only upgrades i am making are

+ ARGB Fans x 3 (3 A RGB connectors)
+ Digital RGB LED Lights x 2 (1 4 PIN connector)
+ Graphics Card

Inspecting my motherboard, i found that it does not support RGB through connector pins.
I have gone and looked for other options through USB and controller adapters, and the closest i could find was this Wired ARGB Controller by Coolermaster. The problem is this item doesn't come as a single purchase for some reason (unless i missed something) but rather comes with a CPU Cooler which i definitely don't need.

I need help with finding an item that supports ARGB connectors and connects to the motherboard through SATA and/or USB (as i don't have RGB or LED connector pins). I assume there's no converters between 4PIN and 3PIN ARGB as i can't find anything online from a google, but i can convert pretty much everything else.

I know some of you will say NZXT Hue but that is my last option as i already have the parts and the main thing was making my window facing fans RGB in the INWIN 303 case.

Thanks for help.
