According to PCPartPicker.co.uk: The Mobo has an onboard USB 3.0 header, but the Cooler Master Elite 430 ATX Mid Tower Case does not have front panel USB 3.0 ports.

 

I am looking for a cheap motherboard to go with my build. This is my old PC so I just want to get it up and running again. I don't want to spend more than around £70.

 

Thanks

It'll work, just means you cant make use of the USB 3.0 headers.

Thanks for the fast reply, will the front USB ports still work?

As long as you plug them to a "F_USB" header (i think thats the name) on the motherboard, then yes.

out of those 2, what one do you think I should get? Is there much difference?

Or could you recommend a different one?

 

Thanks for the help!
