yep, it will work no problem. you will get 2.0 speeds obviously cuz that is what your motherboard can do. If you can ever get a MB with 3.0 usb get it. It is MUCH faster than 2.0.
Edit: just remembered that USB 3.0 is 5gb per sec. 2.0 is around 480mb a sec. Thats 10x the speed increase

If i plug the USB 3.0 cable in the USB 2.0 slot on the motherboard, will it work like a 2.0 USB?
You cant plug an internal USB 3.0 cable into a usb 2.0 motherboard header/connection. They will not fit.
You can plug a usb 3.0 device into a 2.0 slot and vice versa.

Just buy a cheap USB 3 card and stick it in an open slot on the motherboard. Most have at least 1 header for front panel/bay mounted stuff. Just make sure the one you pick does and you should be taken care of.
On second thought, I found the full specs and better images of that board. Buy a different motherboard. Seriously. 1 PCI slot and one PCIe slot with no USB 3 on the board just isn't going to cut it. Many companies make many boards in the same price range or only a hair more expensive that are MUCH better. This looks like one of the boards Asus builds for companies pinching pennies and stamping out a bunch of workstations.

Hey guys here's a thing, I'm going to buy a budget pc soon but I've noticed something.
The case i want only has two 3.0 USB ports in the front but the motherboard i want doesn't have slots for 3.0 USB.
If i plug the USB 3.0 cable in the USB 2.0 slot on the motherboard, will it work like a 2.0 USB?
EDIT: guys it's this case, and this motherboard.
