Recently purchased a new case with a 5.25" external bay.
I bought, a few years ago, a multi USB/card reader that I wanted to install into my old case, but never got around to it. However, the front USB connection of the new case uses the single USB 3.0 header I have available on my lower end MSI board - B350m Pro-VHD. So I need to upgrade the Mobo to have an additional header for that multi USB hub.
I was able to find this -

$225 CDN is a bit more than I want to spend.
I'm having the hardest time finding alternatives from other brands, assuming some exist. I'm hoping someone might know which brand/tier I should be looking at. I'd like to stay around $150 CDN, if possible.
I also have a Ryzen 5 5500, that the MSI board will not register. (MSI's site was misleading and I thought a BIOS update would make my board compatible). So the new board also needs to support the 5500.
Appreciate your time.
