I have a SuperMicro X9SCM-F MATX board for a new build. I am a noob to this as this is my 2nd build and I am confused and have read everything I can find on the topic and maybe because I haven't built many yet and I am new to this, I don't trust myself so I ask for help here. What I don't know for sure is...
my SuperMicro X9SCM-F MATX doesn't have 3.0 usb or e-sata anywhere that I can see and I would like both or atleast 1 of them to be available for my probox because this board along with a E3-1230 V2 CPU are going in a InWin SFF box. I want the build to just have a sdd and processor to keep cool as this will be strictly for my Plex server...
So can I have a 3.0 usb card or e-sata card installed if my board doesn't have them? All I see is 2.0 ports on the board. Do I get them in the pci-e slots? WIll they work if my board does not initially come with 3.0 or e-sata? I already need a graphics card and honestly if I would have realized this sooner, I would have bought a 1245 v2 instead of the 1230 v2 which doesn't have intergrated graphics so now I am getting the cheapest video card that apparently goes in the pci-e 16 slot so I'm not sure what to do here. Any and all advice and help is greatly appreciated and I thank you in advance.
