Need some help on the best/cheapest way to get this issue resolved. I am helping my friend build a computer with parts he bought from newegg. the rosewell case he bought (here) has 2 usb 3.0 ports on the front that connect to the mobo with a 20 pin adapter

but the intel motherboard (here) does not have this adapter.

it only has

is there some kind of adapter to get the 20 pin to fit those usb mobo connectors? So far the only thing I've found is this, but it's out of stock, I'm not positive that is what I need, and I was hoping to find something cheaper.

Any suggestions?

You will need a PCIE card, those ports on the mobo are USB 2.0 so the motherboard has no native ability to connect to a USB 3.0 port, sorry.
