A motherboard big enough

[rothingham]

Hello everyone!

I need a motherboard in which I can put 2 GTX 660ti's in SLI and these two (both PCIe x1) http://www.musicstore.de/en_EN/EUR/Computer/PCI-Express-audio-cards/EMU-1212m-PCIe-12-In-12-Out-FX/art-PCM0008872-000
So making sure the audio cards don't block the SLI bridge. (If this happens at all)

This is for my first home built, so I don't really know how much space these 4 take.

Thank you!

not that difficult. here lets take a look at a asus z77-v

you put the one sound card in the upper most pci x1 slot
then a gtx 66ti in the x16 slot (blue)
skip to the next x 16 slot (white)
then put the second sound card in the third x16 slot that runs @ x4 (black)

a pci x1 card will work in a x4, x8 or x16 slot.

Thank you very much!
So if I'm not mistaken, this is the minimum kind of motherboard I should be looking at, right? (3 x PCIe x16 (8 or 4))

yes. you will see a lot of SLI motherboards with two x16 slots, that run @ x8, x8, will have a third x16 @ x4 slot.
