I'm sorry to have to say it to you, but your motherboard doesn't have the right connector for the USB 3 front panel. You'll have to get some kind of pcie alternative or so, or you can just leave them unplugged.

I thought so, thank you! But I can't find where to plug-in this USB3.0 connector in MSI Gaming 7 motherboard either.

Look for the sata ports, and then on the right. It's a right-angeled connector on this particular motherboard.
