The components in question are:

Motherboard: Gigabyte X79 UP4 (PCI E 3.0)
Graphics card: Gigabyte Radeon 7990 (PCI E 3.0)
CPU: Intel Core i7 3970X (PCI E 2.0)

Thanks

yeah, they will all run at pcie 2.0 speeds though, but that isn't going to limit them at all really...

btw rumour has it amd is going to release a new crossfire oriented driver pretty soon now, so keep your eyes open for that one if you really get the 7990 dual gpu card.
