You'll have to do some Google searching on what motherboards are compatible with the efi-x dongle.

Yes, there are a number of 890GX motherboards that support USB 3.0. I highly recommend this one:

GIGABYTE GA-890GPA-UD3H AM3 AMD 890GX HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX AMD Motherboard - Retail $139.99

Sorry, I misunderstood your question. No, I'm not aware of any motherboards that support "internal" USB 3.0 headers. There are only a couple cases that offer USB 3.0 ports that could take advantage of USB 3.0 headers even if they were available on motherboards. This is one:
