The front side of the case for my new build has 2 front side USB ports 3.0 and 1 eSATA port. The motherboard that I'm looking at is this one Click Here.

There are 3 USB 2.0 headers...

It means if you connect a cable to either the USB 2 or 3 header, you can use 2 ports on the outside

So since there's 3 USB 2 headers on the mobo, you'll have 6 ports on the outside, if you connected USB cables to them. And there's only 1 USB 3 header which can carry 2 ports on the outside

Each header can only support up to 2 USB 2 or 3 ports, if you connect a cable to it

Each header should be able to support 2 front panel USB ports.
