Adding USB Ports

[azrie]

I have an ASRock Extreme4 Z77 and I'm wondering what the best way to add more USB ports would be (preferably USB 3.0)? I have extra PCIe slots and PCI slots and was wondering if there are any well reviewed or recommended cards to add USB ports? I also know the motherboard has quite a few USB headers, is there something I could use to connect them to ports at the back of the case?

Thanks

This is the best rated card on newegg for that http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16815256004

And this one makes 4 usb 3 ports but uses an aux power connection http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA1JM0FN1003

You can always use an extension cable from the back to the front or on your desk for ease of use

This is a good way to go if you have available onboard sockets.
