I'm about to do an upgrade to my desktop computer in order to prepare for the Oculus Rift. I ordered a GTX 980 TI that comes with a 5.25 inch drive bay that has two USB 3.0 ports and an HDMI out. I'm now realizing that I will need to connect these USBs to the motherboard along with my already existing front I/O panel. Are there motherboards with two connections for I/O panels or are there splitters of some kind? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Thanks for the help! I think my main problem was not knowing the right terminology. I read the manuals of the two suggested MBs and found that what I needed was a MB with two USB 3.0 headers, each capable of powering two USB 3.0 ports. I ended up with:
Gigabyte LGA1151 Intel Z170 ATX DDR4 Motherboards GA-Z170X-UD5

Thanks again for the help!
