Hello, hope this is the correct section as I don't know what half of the words on the titles of the forums mean...

I recently purchased this:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Akasa-AK-HDA-06BK-inch-Adapter-Extension/dp/B006Z9WX8M/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&qid=1356442093&sr=8-7
so that I don't have to fiddle about at the back of my pc putting my USB 3.0 flash drive in.

My mobo is this:
http://www.foxconnchannel.com/ProductDetail.aspx?T=Motherboard&U=en-us0000514
It has two USB 3.0 ports on the back so I assumed it would have the necessary pin connector on the inside. As far as I can tell, it doesn't (correct me if I'm wrong).

What I want to know, is, do I need one of these?
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Express-Adapter-Converter-Motherboard-Connector/dp/B008IPXOWU
and if i do, would it fit my mobo?

Are there any other cheaper alternatives to that which also avoid having two USB cables sticking out of a hole on the back of my case and going into the two USB 3.0 ports on the back of my mobo?

Also, sorry for lack of jargon but if i got this card, I'd have something in both of the yellow PCI slots (PCI-e slots?) and the two white-ish ones would be empty. Would a modern graphics card go in the white-ish ones or the small yellow one? (the bigger yellow one already has a wireless card in it).

Thanks in advance for any helps.

Mike.
 
The yellow ones are PCIe the small one (X1) would take your USB card. The long one (X16) is for a graphics card if you get one and you would be limited to a single slot card with the USB card in since most powerful cards will overhang the next slot underneath.
