USB 3.0 Expansion on Older Case

[gamesahoy]

Hello everyone! First post here.

 

I am attempting to build my first rig for a friend of mine who tried to buy an Alienware X51.

 

Here is what I got: http://pcpartpicker.com/user/gamesahoy/saved/#view=h6ctt6

 

The reason behind the case of choice is because of my recent visit to LMG. How did I aquire this piece of hardware? Some of you might have a clue.

 

 

So my question is this: Is it possible to add a USB 3.0 via PCIe, or any other method?

Yes you can do that.

 

You can find it on Amazon. Just type PCIe USB 3 card.

 

Also don't get that Power Supply. 

Get Seasonic or EVGA G2/GS power supply instead.

Yes and yes. You can either get PCIe expansion card. Or if you mobo has internal headers, get front panel with just ports.

Please follow your topics.

 

Yes you can get usb 3.0 via a PCIe card but that will mean u still have to use the back of the case to plug them in so, what im assuming what you want is something for the front and this is what u need http://www.amazon.com/Vktech-Header-MotherBoard-USB3-0-Front/dp/B00GLOFBNK/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1440970861&sr=8-5&keywords=usb+3.0+front+panel+5.25
