A friend helped me build this computer 9 months ago. Originally I had a mid-tower and a EVGA 660. I recently switched to the below components. It was really only three parts, tower, power supply and GPU. However it was a big deal for me bc I did it all on my own. Except I encountered a problem.

I have a problem with my headset. When hooked directly in to the mobo from the rear of my pc the sound works fine. However, hooking in to the jacks on the front I get nothing.

Here are my pc components;
