Which motherboard to go for to upgrade my 2 years old plus for Sata 3 and usb 3.0 and which to go for AMD or use same intel i5 to transfer to new upgrade motherboard? Also I need more slots just for expansions cards.

CURRENT MOTHERBOARD: ASUS P8H61 SERIES (LGA1155)
MEMORY: DDR3 1333MHZ (2X 8) BRAND NEW
ADD ON 2 PORT SATA 3 (6GB SPEED) CONNECT TO SSD BUT I HAVE 4 HARD DRIVES
USB 2.0 BUILT IN CURRENT MOTHERBOARD
INTEL I5 CPU

I need to find an upgrade to latest Sata 3 (6fb) slots and usb 3.0 slots but I did find everything but don't know which one to go for either AMD or transfer current intel 5 cpu to upgrade new motherboard. Also I have Windows 8.1 and Linux Mint partitions. I only use pc to play virtual worlds online and email, browsing and other tasks.
