Hello Yonkers12, thanks for contacting us through the Intel Communities.
It is important to know that the USB technology was designed to support an important amount of devices in a chain configuration, but during the time the USB has been changing and adding new features that eventually limit the amount of devices that can be connected especially if they required power through USB.
Now days the amount of USB devices is defined by the motherboard design and most of them offer 4 USB 3.0 ports (2 fronts + 2 rears) and around 6 or 8 USB2.0 ports. (2 front + 4 or 6 rear)
My recommendation is to look at the motherboard documentation and confirm how many USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 are offered.
Here is the list and the information on Intel motherboards based on the 8th series chipset. ARK | Compare Intel® Products
