If your case has one or more USB ports on front/top, then it should come with a single cable to plug into the USB header (socket basically) on the motherboard. I think the mention of USB-C in the specs is irrelevant, as that's just the shape of the external port.

You could also connect the header to a USB PCIE card.

Thanks! My confusion is because this particular motherboard has the USB-C port at the front not at the back along with all the other ports, so I wasn’t sure how to get the USB-C working without additional parts.

But it seems a lot of the X570 motherboards have a USB-C port at the back, so I’ll probably just look for another one and maybe even get a cheaper case that doesn’t have a USB-C port.

Thanks again.

To be honest, in total, I only really need 2 DisplayPort / HDMI, 2 USB and 1 USB-C...

Just to say, if you do want USB-C on the front, you don't need the case to provide it - you can get a front panel like this. Again it will come with cables to plug into the motherboard's headers.
