I ordered a rosewill challenger and a gigabyte UD5H. Pcpartpicker tells me that my case only has usb 2.0 headers while my gigabyte mobo has 3.0. Is it possible to replace the header on my case? And with what?

Taken from Gigabyte's website:

Chipset:

4 USB 3.0/2.0 ports (2 ports on the back panel, 2 ports available through the internal USB header)
6 USB 2.0/1.1 ports (2 ports on the back panel, 4 ports available through the internal USB headers)

Chipset + Renesas® uPD720210 USB 3.0 Hub:

4 USB 3.0/2.0 ports on the back panel

This means that you have a USB 2.0 header on the motherboard, and you can use the front one of your case.

But if you really want USB 3.0, you can take a panel like this:

I am giving this panel just as an example. I have not used it and I don't know is it good or not, will the cable be long...

I have the z97 chipset. How do I get the USB 3.0 panel? Or any panel for that matter...
