Hello,
I recently begun the rebuilding of my PC, this involved getting a new motherboard:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07SXF8GY3/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

While this is overall solid for everything I need it for, the one thing that it lacks, for me anyway, is the amount of USB ports on the back as I would most likely be filling all of them up.
I was thinking of either getting some sort of USB hub to run through the USB C port, which I wont take much advantage of at this very moment, or possibly getting a PCI express card for the USB ports such as this one.

I was just curious if anyone knows if this is a solid option for my extra peripherals or if there is something better to be used in my case?

Thanks as always!

BTW incase it's of any value to the discussion, the PC will consist of 3900x paired with this motherboard.

Get that PCIe card, hubs share one port with all of them in the hub and so lower bandwidth on each device connected to it.
