Hi,

I'm planning to build a gaming PC, with a i5 3350p (or 3470) plus a AMD Radeon 7870. I don't plan to overclock at all. I'd like to know what is the cheapest good motherboard.

What I need the PC for, from the most to the least important:

Gaming, multimidia (music, films), internet browsing.

Later I would like to upgrade my storage hardware to SSD, so I think SATA 3 is important... And USB 3.0 would be cool.

I'm sorry about my english, I'm not a native speaker.
 
Solution
All current-gen intel chipsets have SATA3 (6Gb/s) and USB3.0.

Main thing is that it's from a good brand, which I'd usually call Asus, Gigabyte, ASRock, or MSi. Probably in that order. Get an H77 or B75 board, and cheapest one around will do.
