usb Motherboard has only usb 3.0's while case only has usb 2.0's

[Draconid]

Hello,

I'm currently in the process of upgrading my current PC's specifications (https://pcpartpicker.com/user/Draconid/saved/#view=dwyMpg) up to a higher standard by purchasing myself a Ryzen (What I'm buying: https://pcpartpicker.com/user/Draconid/saved/#view=T3GCJx) until recently I hadn't realised that my IO panel only has 2 usb 2.0 slots (my case: http://www.coolermaster.com/case/mid-tower/elite-311/) and I wanted to ask whether my motherboard will still be able to make use of these USB's, as otherwise I don't really have access to the back of my computer.

Yes it will if you have an adapter.

USB 3.0 is compatible with 2.0. You just won't get the benefits of USB 3.0.

The motherboard you want to buy has two usb 2.0 internal headers, so there shouldn't be any problems to connect two ports your case has to it, and you won't need adapters.
