So for my first build, I did a mini ITX form factor, but my case has USB 3.0 ports on the front that I cannot connect to my mobo because it doesn't have the blue 3.0 header. I'm trying to find a mPCIe card to hook this up to, as my mobo has space for a mini PCI card. Any suggestions, I want to make sure I find the right one before I spend $20 for a PCI card on a $35 mobo (yeah, I went really cheap for my first build...) Thanks.

Here's a link to my mobo on newegg: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813130759

I forgot to mention that my pc has Ubuntu 14.04 and I'm not sure if that card will be compatible. Maybe I'll have to write drivers for it (which I'm only learning at this point) Can I get some confirmation?
