Before you do that, you may want to look at how many usb 2.0 and usb 3.0 headers are on the motherboard sitting unused. 

You could buy brackets with 2 or 4 usb connectors and attach those brackets to the back of your case and connect the cables to the existing usb headers. For some things like mouse, keyboard, even webcams etc you don't need more than usb 2.0 

 

Example usb 2.0 bracket with 4 ports : https://www.amazon.com/StarTech-com-Port-Female-Plate-Adapter/dp/B00015Y0FK/

 

Just search "usb bracket" and you'll find plenty : https://www.amazon.com/s?k=usb+bracket&ref=nb_sb_noss

Cheaper on eBay and other places.
