Mobo USB 3.0 Headers

[Y.Y]

Hey guys,

I'm starting my new build really soon and all I'm missing is the motherboard and OS.

So I've been checking out motherboards and all of them I've found that are in the 120$ cad price range only have 1 usb 3.0 header on the motherboard,

but my case, the NZXT Phantom 530, has 2 usb 3.0 on the front.

So I was wondering how does this all work? Will the motherboard work? 

Motherboards I've been checking out include but are not limited to: MSI Z87-G41 PC Mate, MSI H87-G43, ASRock Z87 Pro4, ASRock Z87 Extreme3, Gigabyte GA-H87-D3H, Gigabyte GA-Z87-HD3 and ASRock H87 Performance(assuming it restocks and keeps the price)

 

If it works, which one of these motherboards would you recommend? Keep in my the 120$ Cad price.

 

Thanks guys

Each header can drive 2 ports so you'll be fine.

 

EDIT: Didn't read the mobo question, get one with the Z87 chipset and that looks the best for you. Those brands are all very good.

The NZXT Phantom has a 2USB 3.0 outbound header to one inbound header. You're fine.

If you're going to overclock, go for a z series chipset, if not, go for the cheapest thing you can find.

Most decent z87 mobos have 1 internal usb3. Thats enough for what you need now. If you need more usb3 later you can add either PCIe card or hub.
