hey guys, I'm having a bit of trouble choosing a mobo for my i52500k and 2 Gigabyte GTX570's (SLI)
At the moment I'm tossing up these two:
1. Gigabyte Z68XP UD4

2. ASROCK Z68 Extreme4 Gen3

I'm not two bothered by integrated graphics (i.e. Lucid Virtu) since I already have GPU's.
There's honestly not much difference between them in terms of price/features but there is one issue that keeps popping up when I'm looking at mobos: the PICE slots
The ASROck states it has "2 x PCIe 3.0 x16 Slots"
wheras the Gigabyte mobo only has one x16 slot which would mean that it would be slower with my SLI right?
