so I want build this pc http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/fWBsjX but the motherboard does not support usb 3.0 and I want a usb 3.0. So which motherboard is the best for this pc with usb 3.0 and it has to almost the same price as the motherboard on the list

i would advise you to go with the i5-4440 processor which is cheaper than the 4430 but slightly better...

also if you are to go with an H97 motherboard then it means you can go with the i5-4460 which is again a little better than both...

here is my suggestion:

it's 10$ more but you get a better motherboard AND a better CPU.

 

If for some reason you need to have 4 dimm slots for your RAM then this board is the next ''step-up'' for you:
