How abt just buy a 2 x PCI-E X16 board and add this ? Btw i saw the 450D front only has 2 usb 3.0 port hole

The only choice i have is buy the board & add this? Currently, Mobo max is 8?

There is a limit as to hw many USB ports a mobo can have. Also, b85, h87/97, z87/97 will also have diff amount of usb port support.

BTW, why u need till so many?

Nt many have front 2x usb2.0 and 2x usb3.0, but u can try 750D. Quite big but considered small for full tower. Just a tad bigger than mid towers.

Or u can try fractal design core 3000.

The b85 mobo you have in mind only support crossfire. If you wan sli & crossfire, gotta get a z97. Might wanna check out the msi z97s sli plus.
$200 at tradepac. One of the cheapest z97 to support sli.
Comes with 6 usb 3.0 at back, thats 2 more than the average mobo in its price range. V gd value board which has all the necessary features of a z97.

Seem not bad but for the front filter seem like my current casing. Not that easy to get it out.
