What's the deal with ports?

[Hydrogen1803]

I was just wondering, my motherboard has more than 2 USB ports, but my case appears to have only has 2 sockets on it. Should I look in to a different case or something else? 

My build: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/zPx8t6

 

Motherboard: 

MSI Z97-GAMING 5 ATX LGA1150 Motherboard

Case: 

 

Phanteks Enthoo Pro M ATX Mid Tower Case

There's front IO on the case, which has 2 USB ports most of the time.

And then there's the back IO on the motherboard with the rest of the USB-ports.

 

@Hydrogen1803: Follow your topic.

You can still use the USB on the rear IO.

The ports on your case connect to the motherboard, and since they're two USB 3.0's that means they'll connect to a single USB 3.0 header on the motherboard. That combination of case and motherboard are fine.

 

The ports on the back of the motherboard, and front of the case are independent of each other.

The case connects to the board's USB headers, not the ports on the back of the board. The ports on the case will only require one header for USB 2.0 ports and 1 header for USB3.0 ports (if you have them)
