Absolutely becasue it has a PCIe 3.0/2.0 x16 slot. Even though that motherboard has one SATA 6Gb/s port and 4 USB 3.0 ports, you don'y have to use them. However the SATA 6Gb/s port could be useful if you ever install an SSD.

The Gigabyte is GA-B75M-D3H is very similar to the Asus P8b75M LE, but it has 4 memory slots. You probably don't care if you only need 4GB of memory, but it makes it easier to add more memory.

I wouldn't buy the last 2 motherboards because they are based on an older chipset, etc.
