Hello, I'm building a Pc soon. when I put the parts in pcpartspicker it said that the motherboard uses USB 3.0 and the case is only 2.0. Will it work or will it blow up? I'm kinda freakin out since this is my first build...here are the parts:

You'll be fine. The motherboard has support for the latest USB technology (3.0 = speeds of up to 5 Gbps), but the case has support for 2.0 (up to 480 Mbps). What this means is, any USB device plugged into the case will have data transfer speeds of up to 480 Mbps.
