I have a Gigabyte 970A-DS3 (rev 3) MB with 2 USB 3.0 ports on the board itself (rear) but only 2.0 headers inside. Can I add a pci-e card with a 19 pin connector for my 2 front case 3.0 connectors or will this cause a conflict. MB uses Etron controller. I have been searching a long time, so now I'll ask for help.

Thanks ST, after picking a highly rated card with 19 pin internal connector included, I have just read 2 hrs worth of reviews and started finding those who purchased for the same reason as my needs (and similar) to find that it is a perfect solution for adding 3.0 ports or devices (card readers, drive bays, etc) to PCs with no 3.0 header or only one already taken header on MB. The word 'conflict' has not been found anywhere. Again, Thanks.
