This is my first post on this site so plz forgive me if this isn't quite the correct category...
I am looking to take my first step up to a scratch built computer. I have done my due diligence and chosen what I feel is a decent mobo/processor combo. My question is related to the case I am looking at to put everything in.
My question comes in two parts:
A: How can I figure out if I have enough connectors for all the fans that come inside the box? I have looked over the manufacturer's website as well as the high res images on Newegg but I'm not sure which is which without being able to read the printing on the board.
B: The board itself has 2 external USB 3.0 ports but none internally to the best of my knowledge. The case has 2 usb 3.0 mounted on top as well and I see a notice that I should ensure I have an internal USB 3.0 port, however lower down the specs list it says that it uses "(internal 20-pin connector to MB)" again I am not sure how to verify that I have this on my mobo.
Below are the links to the case and mobo I am considering as seen on Newegg.com

ANY help would be greatly appreciated and I thank you in advance for any help you may be able to provide.
