Just buy any motherboard you can get at this point, and add a PCI-E USB3.0 card.

You are limited either to used name-brand motherboards or getting a generic B75 motherboard from China. https://www.ebay.com/itm/B75-1155-D...erboard-CPU-Interface-LGA-1155-N/163426451858

I have purchased both generic H55 and H61 boards similar to this last year and they work fine solely for getting old parts working at stock speeds. The BIOS will suck but the boards generally work fine if you don't want something used.

I don't think you understand, I was going to blow $80 on a mobo. Found a nice one for $30 refurbed. Not from a prebuilt.

want it for the i7-3700 I am going to buy

Yes, it seems to be a model that was sold only in the chinese market by MSI. But it is a legit model.

And, seriously, stop creating topics. Most of your topics could be condensed into a single topic. Just keep asking questions about your upgrade in a single topic.

Could grab a OEM board like a Acer or Lenovo off ebay for literal pennies. Don't have any model numbers off the top of my head, but its a valid option

Look for HP Pavillion board P7 serie like mine in my specs under my avatar. Mine is a Pegatron "Carmel" IPISB-CU LGA1155 which is stock model no overclock possibility but reliable and can add usb 3.0 card
