Hi there, Im looking for a good motherboard, to fit my 2 EVGA GTX 670 FTW, with my i7 2600k

Im confused, as I see on some mother boards, that supports SLI, that they say PCIE 3.0/2.0 16x (8x/ 8x when SLI), so that means that when I put 2 GTX 670 the PCIE bandwith goes to 8x in each slot, right?, but my doubt is that if I have an i7 2600k, I will not support PCIe3, so that means that I will be runing my GTX's 670's in (PCIE 2.0 8x /8x) ? or I will be runing (PCIE 2.0 16x/16x)? because as far as I know, PCIE 3.0 8x = PCIE 2.0 16x, so please helpme, what would be the best choice for me?, oh! and in adition, can you list a mobo that supports OC for my 2600k?

these are my actual hardware

CPU: Intel Core i7 2600k 3.4ghz
GPU: 2x EVGA GTX 670 FTW 2GB
RAM: 4x 4GB kingston Hyper X BLU 1333

Thanx alot :D

 
Solution
I'd go the Rocks Z77 Extreme 4 - I've run a pair of 770s on mine with no problem, and it's the best selling Z77 for gamers and business users alike
