Can I add a USB3.0 card via the PCI slot on my ASUS P5K-E motherboard and take advantage of the "SuperSpeed" of USB3.0?

The card I'm looking to buy: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16816322009

    You can provided you have a free PCI slot on your motherboard – Ramhound Dec 09 '13 at 14:54
  • [mode: nitpick] The card does not fit/work in a PCI slot. It is a PCI-e card. It will work in any of the four PCI-e slots though. – Hennes Dec 09 '13 at 18:09

The USB 3.0 card uses a PCI-Express x1 slot and you have two of them. The small white ones over the large blue PCI-Express x16 slot.

Install the card to one of those slots.
