You may need internal PCI card for USB3 support.

something like this below product. dont know if they are sold in india / local market though.

Newegg.com - Rosewill 2-Port USB 3.0 PCI Express Card Model RC-505

D-Link DUB-1310 USB 3.0 PCI Express Card| D-Link Express Card

Just put this in a vacant PCIe x1 lane
It offers two USB 3.0 ports otherwise you can check on ebay for cards having 4 USB 3.0 ports

If your on a budget get this

1) OP...did you buy one?
2) I too was recently looking for a USB 3.0 port. But i think that the links provided are for PCI*16 slots(correct me if i am wrong). I just have a single PCIExpress *16 slot, which my graphics card is using up(8600GT:mrgreen:). If the USB card is using PCI*1 slot, then its good i guess....but seeing the card connectors i think they are PCI*16 cards.
