Hiho, folks!I´m willing to buy another mobo, looking forward upgrading to LGA 1150!I´m really excited about it!The problem is: I´m searching for a mobo with pci express 16x on all of the four slots!
I´ve been searching for some days but I couldn´t find anything!I only found ASUS Maximus VI Extreme, but when you go on a quad SLI, the slots have their speed reduced to 8x
=[
What would you guys recommend me?

Why do you need a quad sli or crossfire?
If you want to game in 1080p FullHD then dual sli of medium-high range cards would give you enough fps.
And If you want it for animation and stuff then buy high end cards!
.
Though check out this mobo ASUS- Z97-WS

Thx for the repply harry_r_s!

I´m willing to play games on 4k resolution in a near future. I´ve got a pair of R9 290x and maybe a year later I´ll get another R9 290x.At least I wanted to buy a mobo to use a dual crossfire on 16x
What Z97-ws is a very nice model, but I only buy used stuff on ebay so that I can avoid brazilian taxes =P
There are no used Z97-WS on Ebay right now
Are there another good models that you guys could recommend me?

What if you buy a normal mobo today. And get an advanced mobo tomorrow. Because 3 way crossfire is enough for today's cpu. The cpu's bus transfer limit is reached with R9 290s. Also stability is lost if you increase the crossfire connections. Generally it is better to get a single powerful card instead of combining multiples.
.
Still to my knowledge, the mobo mentioned above is the only good mobo present online according to your needs.
