I would like to add the functionality of usb 3 to a desktop HP Pavilion P7-1254 running Windows7.

I would like to use an external USB3 drive to back up my system. How do I know what USB3 card can be added to my motherboard?

Bill, welcome to the forum.

Here is a card that should do what you need:

http://www.Newegg.com/product/product.aspx?item=N82E16815150222

It's a PCI Express x 1 card.  The motherboard has 3 of these slots.  If you do not want this card, it will work as an example of what you need.
