Build:
Ryzen 7 1700
Asus Crosshair VI Hero (should I get different motherboard?)
16GB Ram
2TB HDD 512GB SSD storage
Zalman Z11 Plus Case
600W power supply
Radeon 580

Should I get a different motherboard, because it seems pretty pricy, and if I stay with this one, what front panel connectors does it have? My case has 2 2.0 and 2 3.0 on the front panel, how do I connect it from the motherboard.

Thanks in advance.

The Hero only has 1x USB2.0 (9-pin) internal header and 1x USB3.0 (19-pin) internal header. Each header supports 2 USB ports, respectively. That means, your case's 2x USB2.0 ports will connect to the mobo's 1x USB2.0 internal header and your case's 2x USB3.0 ports will connect to the mobo's 1x USB3.0 internal header.

If in case you will ever need more USB2.0 internal headers, you can get this NZXT USB2.0 extension hub: https://www.amazon.com/NZXT-Internal-Controller-Black-AC-IUSBH-M1/dp/B01IFGFTJ2/ref=pd_sbs_236_1?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B01IFGFTJ2&pd_rd_r=CM7V8W1Q4471YS45H5VG&pd_rd_w=gNBSc&pd_rd_wg=sKEbb&psc=1&refRID=CM7V8W1Q4471YS45H5VG

As for the other front panel connectors of your case (typically, the Audio HD, PLED+, PLED-, HDD LED, PWR SW, and RESET SW), the Hero motherboard has all those connections.
