Do I need do find a case that matches my motherboard's I/O perfectly?

[David_700]

I am building my first PC with a budget of $1000. I would like to purchase the MSI B250 PC Mate motherboard and a Deepcool Tesseract SW ATX Mid Tower Case. The motherboard has two USB 3.0, two USB 2.0, and lots of ports that my case doesn't have (it only has 2 in total).

tl;dr Do I need do find a case that matches my motherboard's I/O perfectly?

No, the io backplate is the same size for all motherboards, it's the cutout of the backplate that differs

I would say that almost all builds have unused ports somewhere, they have to include them though to suit all options

No you don't. I have that case on one of my builds you just have to leave the headers you don't use not connected to anything.

the case only have the front port. which look like 1 usb3 and 1 usb2.
and your motherboard have both header. so it will work.

So if I want to use a USB I have to get inside my case?

Well you have to connect it to the mobo if its coming from the front

When you get the case you just plug the case cables into the motherboard and all the usbs will work.
