3.0 USB problem with the case and motherboard

[zapgod]

Hi there guys im just about to orer a new case for my build and i realised a problem. the case i want to order(Coolermaster Haf X) has 2 front usb 3.0 connections but my motherboard (Gigabyte GA-EX58-UD5 Intel X58) does not have any. i have been looking around for some kind of solution to this but i have not come across any. can anyone recommend me anything? would this work? http://overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CB-072-AK

The HAFX has a pair of USB3.0 cables that usually pass through the case, out the back and into the rear USB3.0 ports on a motherboard with rear USB ports.


The only way you can add USB3.0 support to your board is with a controller card,

Or the case includes a cable to convert to internal USB to fit onto a motherboard,

the usb 3.0 feature would come in handy, so option 1 it is then? is there no other way?
