So I'm getting into building computers and I've never bought my first motherboard. Do motherboards always/typically/never come with USB headers to connect to the case? Do they also come with the wire you attach to the power button or do I have to buy these separate?
Basically at the moment I have three Qnix2710 monitors running 7970 in crossfire. I use 2 Mini Display Port/DVI-D Dual-Link Adapter connections to connect the monitors at the moment along with the normal dvi connection. I'm just sick of the graphical glitching I seem to get when my cards are...
