what's the best way to add an additional usb 3.0 19 pin and wireless card to my pc?

here's the current dilemma..

i installed a card reader that also has usb 3.0 connections and i've added wireless via pci express card, but i only have 1 slot for pci express and my usb 19 pin is being used by the computer case usb 3.0 harness

so i need to be able to connect both via the motherboard so it's all clean and professional

suggestions on how to do this without jerry rigging

this build is for a client

what would be great is a pci express card that has usb 19 pin and wireless internet :) 

ps. mobo is asus sabertooth 990 fx

the only way i can see to get the card reader going without out a PCIE card is to downgraded it to USB 2 with a header adapter.

so this adapter plugs into the mobo usb 3.0 and has a splitter for 2 19 pin usb 3.0 that i can use to plug in the case usb 3.0 and the card reader usb 3.0..is that right?

Yes, that's what it looks like. It just splits the 19-pin header so you can connect two different things into the motherboard header. I've never used one, but it seems like it should work for your situation.

I hope so. I'm interested to see how well it works. I might buy one for my own machine. Let me know how it works out. You can send me a PM if you would like.
