Hey, with this build on PC part picker http://
it says I have an error, Zalman ZM-T4 MicroATX Mini Tower Case has front panel USB 3.0 ports, but the Asus M5A78L-M/USB3 Micro ATX AM3+ Motherboard does not have onboard USB 3.0 headers. do i have to buy any additional things? or can you explain what is wrong? thanks
 
Solution
it means you don't have a USB 3.0 header on the MB to plug the front USB 3 connectors to. The card I linked has a header to plug the connector into so you'll be able to use the front USB 3.

This is not a big deal. It's just telling you that your case has USB 3.0 port in the front, but your motherboard does not offer a USB 3.0 header. That just means you'll hook a USB 2.0 header to the front of the case instead. USB 3.0 is backwards compatible so it will work at USB 2.0 speeds.
