Can i connect USB 3.0 connectors to mobo's USB 3.1 (gen 1) headers?

The case i'm planning to buy has only usb 3.0 connectors on the front panel. But the motherboard has only usb 2 and usb 3.1 gen1 headers. Will it work if i connect front panel to usb 3.1 headers?

The connectors and wiring is identical, and so they are backwards-compatible (USB 3 obviously!). However, you won't get the enhanced 10Gbit speeds of USB 3.1 and rather just normal USB 3.0 speeds.

YES you can. USB 3.0 was renamed as USB 3.1 Gen 1. You are fine.
