Hi all, a quick thanks to Beer40oz and eskro for all there input.
I'm a PC noob when it comes to technical side of PCs so please forgive my noobness.
I'm putting a rough list together of PC components that will make up my HTPC.
My question is would there be any reason to get a MOBO with USB3.0 ports vs a cheaper MOBO with only USB2.0?
Eg: H61M-DS2 vs H67MA-USB3.
Thanks.

Once you have a mobo picked out with USB 3, both of those cases have front USB 3 ports so they will give you USB 3 speeds with a USB 3 motherboard.
Some cases may only have USB 2 front ports, which will only give you USB 2 speeds for those ports regardless of if the motherboard supports USB 3. Nothing to worry about with those cases though.
HTPC 1 - AMD A8-3870K, ASRock A75M, Silverstone ML03B, Kingston HyperX 4GB DDR3 1866, Crucial M4 64GB SSD
HTPC 2 - HP Stream Mini, 6GB Ram
unRAID 6 Server - Intel Celeron G1610, 20TB Storage

Celeron CPU (G530, etc) can bitstream HD Audio. Please correct this in the first post.

Those CPU marks in post #1 need updating.
