Then you may want at least a B85 motherboard since it has all the things you want. H81 has USB 3.0 but only on the rear I/O port and it doesn't have PCIE 3.0. H87 also has the things you want however they are much more expensive than a B85 motherboard. You might also want to check the specification of the motherboard you want to buy since some B85 motherboards doesn't have a USB 3.0 front panel header(like a certain MSI board I bought for a friend).

Thanks for the heads up bro. I really thought all of these chipsets (H81, B85, H87) have all the specs I need.

I want a USB 3.0 in the front panel. I think I'll choose a B85 motherboard and make sure that there's a USB 3.0 header in it. (Is it correct?)

Thanks again!

Good choice and good advice from @Ravager.
Just make sure you grab a usb3 ready chassis.

Ug di man ka kinahanglan ug usb 3.0 pwede na bro.
Ug mogamit ka ug uber high end gpu, need pud ka ug pcie 3.0.

PCIE 3.0 is backwards compatible with PCIE 2.0 so you can use a PCIE 3.0 GPU with a PCIE 2.0 motherboard. There's also no noticeable difference between using a PCIE 2.0 slot and a PCIE 3.0 slot if you're using only one GPU. The only thing PCIE 3.0 is good at when compared to the PCIE 2.0 is SLI/Crossfire. Maybe in the future there will be cards that fully utilize a PCIE 3.0 slot, however by that time, PCIE 4.0 will be released so there's really no reason to go for a PCIE 3.0 motherboard except if it has the features you wanted.

Im perfectly aware you can use a pcie3.0 card on a pcie2.0 port. Pcie 2.0 is nearing choke point. There is now 1% loss on a 680 card. Even more on a 780ti about 3% which is already a big deal which is every cent spent on the card. Surely next gen uber end cards are sure to saturate 2.0. The catch-phrase on my previous statement was uber-end.
Not unless he's looking forward to another procie-board upgrade within 2 years.

Like I said, no noticeable difference. You'll only lose 1-3 FPS when using high-end GPUs and almost no performance loss at all when using entry level to mid range level GPUs. I doubt he'll be buying ultra high end GPUs anyway since he's clearly going for a budget motherboard. I'm not against a PCIE 3.0 motherboard though. I'm just saying PCIE 2.0 isn't a deal breaker.

Well if the premium over an H81 was no more than 500 bucks, why not?
