Longtime visitor, first time poster,

Im in the process of building a sandy bridge - e 2011 x79 system and I am a bit unsure of which motherboard to get. I don't want to spend more then $350 dollars on the motherboard. I want it to have 8 ram slots as I intend to get 32gb of ram.

I already have on msi 560ti twin frozr and plan on getting a second to run SLI, and I also plan on getting a ceton infinitv4 as well. So I would need 3 pci express slots that wouldn't be blocked by any kind of device overhang.

I plan on pairing this with the intel 3930 cpu.

I'm not married to any brand or model, I just want something that wont fall apart as I generally only do a complete build once every 4 to 5 years.

The general use of the computer will be gaming, 3d rendering, and some video editing. In case that plays a factor in motherboard suggestions.


Thanks in advance
