Help with front usb ports

[Potatoemonster]

I just bought all my parts to my 300$ pc build and I found out that I have front usb ports on my case but not on my motherboard. How do i solve this?

Thanks much,

If you want those usb ports filled in, buy a new motherboard.

If its ok with you, Just ignore it.

Patch it up or something.

or you can look for a USB PCI-E card like this (if you have enough PCI-e lanes):

*Note this is for USB 3.0

When you get a new mobo, make sure it has onboard usb 3.0 usb headers. Your case should have a cable with a blue tip leading from where the usb ports are. This is what you plug into the usb 3.0 headers. If you dont want to go over $300 budget then just hide the cable.
