I just ordered all parts for my PC but realized that I had overlooked one thing. The case I ordered, the Cougar Spike, has 1 USB 3.0 and 1 USB 2.0 front panel ports, while the mobo I ordered, the ASUS M5A78L-M USB/3, has 2 USB 3.0 ports rear panel ports (not headers), and 4 USB 2.0 rear panel.
Mobo.
Case.
How can I connect the USB 3.0 rear panel of the MOBO to the one USB 3.0 front panel port on the case? I found this cable, but I don't know how to use it, where to plug it in, or if it would even fit my needs.
2nd question (didn't feel the need to make a new post) The mobo has SATA 3Gbs/ but the Seagate Barracuda HDD I'm ordering is SATA 6Gb/s. Would it be bottlenecked, or would it still be running at its best speed? If not, what speed would it be running at?
I just ordered the mobo/HDD so I can still cancel the orders. However, if I needed new parts they would still need to be within the price range of the ones I already ordered.
I already have the case.
Thanks in advance!
