Hi, I'm getting this mobo: http://www.amazon.com/Gigabyte-Express-DualBIOS-Motherboard-GA-H97-D3H/dp/B00K7807MQ/ref=pd_sim_pc_2?ie=UTF8&refRID=112B94D2SJ0T5XW19VSV

and I'm not sure if I should upgrade to this mobo: http://www.amazon.com/Gigabyte-Express-DualBIOS-Motherboard-GA-H97-D3H/dp/B00K7807MQ/ref=pd_sim_pc_2?ie=UTF8&refRID=112B94D2SJ0T5XW19VSV

My case is the Corsair 200R and it comes with 2 usb 3.0 slots in the front of the case that need to be connected to the mobo, I've heard you need 1 PCI Express slot for both. The case only seems to have 1 usb 3.0 connector as well. Help on this please?

The Corsair Carbide 200R already has an extension cable, which you will be able to connect from the two front panel USB 3.0 slots to the motherboard.

A PCI-E slot would be used only in the case where you would use a USB 3.0 PCI-E expansion card, which you don't need at the moment. Between the case and the motherboard you will have 6 USB 3.0 receptacles.
